The Woman in White (1997 TV series)

The Woman in White 1997 is a BBC television adaptation very loosely based on the 1859 novel of the same name by Wilkie Collins. Unlike the epistolary style of the novel, the 2hour dramatisation uses Marian as the main character. She bookends the film with her narration.

On the night Mr. Hartright arrives at Limmeridge, he bumps into a woman in white. She speaks cryptically, and inquires if he is to stay with the Fairlies. When a carriage arrives, she runs off. Mr. Gilmore, the Fairlies attorney, tells him that the woman must have been a villager. When Hartright meets the two sisters, he mistakes Laura for the woman in white because of the strong resemblance.As Mr. Hartright teaches the sisters, he grows especially fond of Laura. However, Marian makes it clear to him that her sister is already engaged to Sir Percival Glyde. Though she senses that something is not quite right, she cannot find fault in Sir Percival, who is kind, attentive, and rich. Laura and Mr. Hartright acknowledge their feelings for each other, but they cannot be together. Marian asks Hartrights help in tracking down the woman in white. Hartright agrees to stay outside at night to lure the woman in white. One night, Marian sees a servant girl, rush out from the woods, screaming for help. Right behind her is Mr. Hartright, whom she accuses of trying to rape her. The servant has been paid off by Glyde to frame Hartright. Hartright is immediately disgraced and sent away, but not before he warns Laura that she is in great danger. Laura ignores him and marries Glyde. ........
