Historical Drama

DVD
B-

Well, this wasn't what I was expecting, with that title, that cable station, and the source material, a Louisa May Alcott short story which I've never read.  Apparently it's just loosed based and it actually gets quite soapy at times.  Before I realized it was a TV-movie, I wondered why some of the performances felt a bit off, but it did mostly win me over, and I think Tatiana Maslany and Jacqueline Bisset are solid as granddaughter and grandmother respectively.  (Bisset was 64 but still gorgeous.)  Graeme Campbell directed.
