The 1991 movie "Impromptu" with Judy Davis as George and Hugh Grant as Chopin accompanied by Mandy Patinkin, Bernadette Peters, Julian Sands and Emma Thompson was entertaining but entirely too short to play out the entire story. Yes, it was definitely in color.

This was terrific pairing. I remember one line Rosemary Harris said about Chopin's music being like pearls dropping.

Cakes and Ale (1974)

Rosie, a pretty and softhearted barmaid, cares more for the needs of others then the social conventions of love and marriage.

I still remember splendid Georgina Hale as Sand's difficult daughter, Solange, as though it were yesterday. She deserts him and elopes with an old time lover (James Grout) when he needs her more. The tragic romantic saga explores the social impact of the First World War on a small Northeast Community in the fictional Mearns village of Kinraddie.
