With a relatively simple story, set against beautiful scenery with cinematography to die for, we are swept into a world of the past, where honour meant something, where marriage vows, no matter how hastily taken were still to be respected, and where a single pregnant female was a family shame (not the norm as today unfortunately). I am amazed that it has taken me five plus years to see this movie, and I am grateful to the family channel for screening it for me to tape. But here, in this visually stunning feast, we have a romance where the hero, out of honour and respect, doesn't bed the heroine. While many modern romance films claim to be such they invariably end up with hero and heroine ending up in bed (sometimes with a little too much detail thanks very much). What a revelation, a romance, pure and simple, with no sex, no violence, no foul language just pure and simple romance.
