Several years ago, I saw a movie on PBS here in the states which I liked very well and I would like to buy or rent it. I had seen the very attractive leading lady in some of the British Mystery series but did not catch her name. in this movie, She lived in the countryside and had several young girls in her household. A handsome local farmer was attracted to her. He gave her a horse and buggy for transport and one of her girls was killed in an accident when the horse ran away. Another young girl ran away with a local young man. The leading man is tall, handsome, and has been in other Brit movies as well. The leading lady is attractive and the quiet, winsome type. Thanks Howard

Two films spring to mind The Loves of Joanna Godden (1947) and Far From the Maddening Crowd (1967), although neither seem to exactly fit the bill, for one thing I wouldn't describe either Googie Withers or Julie Christie as winsome!

Start every day with a smile and get it over with.

I'll check them out but I beleive the movie was more current. The man and woman got married in the end. Howard

There was, of course a later 'Far From the Madding Crowd' - a TV movie made in 1998.

Nathaniel Parker and Paloma Baeza starred along with Jonathan Firth.

But there is no buggy-accident in FFTMC…

Thanks for the help. I just remembered something else. The leading lady appeared frequently in some of the British Mystery movies such as Poirot and others shown on American PBS stations. Thanks Howard
