I considered this an absolute gem when it was first released.... I still do. The script is a brilliant adaptation by Steve Martin of a classic 19th Century novel, by George Eliot.
When video stores put out tapes for rental they were not sure which section to place them in. It has comic moments, but it is not a comedy.
Why this gem laid an egg at the box office and was not a better critical success is beyond me. It comes out on Blu-ray from Kino Lorber soon.
