Synopsis:
Sawmill owner's daughter Emily Woof is forced to marry a wealthy doctor despite her love for a humble woodsman. Former documentary-maker Phil Agland turned his hand to fiction for this adaptation of the Thomas Hardy novel, but it's hardly convincing, let down by poor performances and a pace that lets scenes drag on for far too long. With Rufus Sewell and Cal MacAninch
