Emma
was educated at a convent, soon after she returns home she weds the widowed
country doctor who treated her father’s broken leg. She has high hopes of romance and passion but Charles
doesn’t understand what that means.
Since he’s away a lot and Emma gets lonely, he gets her a little
dog. She soon becomes bored and
discontent, the recommendation is
a change of scene. Charles moves
her to another town but it takes a while for him to build up his practice. She spends to excess on dresses and
furnishings and this becomes a heavy burden for Charles.
There
have been many versions of this story both on the screen and TV. I didn’t know in the beginning of
watching this film that it is a TV movie but I could tell by the feel of it
when I finished. Maybe Emma is a
little spoiled and she doesn’t know anything about real life? 3* (This movie is OK)
