Rating:  - Awful story
No matter how "well done" this movie is, it is an awful story, including a graphic rape scene. Shame on Masterpiece Theater. Avoid.
Rating:  - Clarrisa - It was as good as I remembered
A good few years ago I watched Clarrisa on TV and fell in love with the story. Since then I have been waiting for it's release and was so excitied to finally find it out on dvd.

This of course, is a time in England when women (wives and daughters) were property of their fathers and brothers. In spite of her wealth, Clarissa is persuaded by her parents that she should submit control of her wealth to her family that ... Read More
Rating: - Horrible film
This is a horrible, dark, depressing film. It is not at all plausible that so many people would go to such lengths of deception in order to aid Lovelace in his despicable plots against an innocent young woman who has been forced to seek his assistance.
