This film is based on
a play by August Strindberg. It
takes place over one Midsummer Night’s Eve at a country estate in Fermanagh,
Ireland in 1888. Miss Julie is an unsettled
daughter of a count of the Anglo-Iris aristocracy and she has taken a liking to
Jean, her father’s valet. There
are problems with this infatuation.
She is a noblewoman, he is a servant and he is engaged to Kathleen,
the kitchen maid of the household.
Rermanagh, Ireland is in
Northern Ireland near the shores of Upper Lough Erne. There are only three actors in this film and I thought
it was based on a play. I usually don't care for films based on plays and everything about it says from a play. Jean has traveled the world with his Master but Miss Julie
doesn’t have these advantages. She
has wealth and social status instead. I
could not get interested and it seemed a waste of my time? 2* (I didn’t like this movie)
