Description

Director James Ivory brings Henry Jamess classic novel THE BOSTONIANS to the screen in this evocative historical adaptation filled with exciting exacting performances. The story centers on the fight between an ardent feminist and a southern gentleman for a charismatic faith healers daughter. Basil Ransom (Christopher Reeve) a conservative lawyer woos the youthful charming and articulate Verena Tarrant (Madeleine Potter in her first film role) but he objects to her involvement in the suffragist movement and to Olive Chancellor (Vanessa Redgrave) Verenas feminist mentor. The relationship between Redgrave Reeve and Potter is mesmerizing to watch and Reeve better known for his role in SUPERMAN is handsomely dynamic as the lover Verena cannot deny. Jessica Tandy Linda Hunt and Nancy Marchand costar in this strong ensemble film shot in stunning New England locations. THE BOSTONIANS was Merchant Ivory Productions second adaptation of a Henry James novel following THE EUROPEANS.
