A hot-tempered farm laborer convinces the woman he loves to marry their rich but dying boss so that they can have a claim to his fortune.
From memory: The strikingly beautiful cinematography of this period movie is almost a character of its own as it underscores its achingly romantic story.
Halliwell****: "Visually a superb slice of period life, it has an emotional force that emerges slowly from the conjunction of the vast landscape and its reticent intruders, who have fled from the dark of the city to find no peace in the country."
Maltin***1/2: "Exquisite mood piece...its visual beauty almost overwhelms the story - which is second priority here."
