November 2009: this rare out of print official UK DVD is new & sealed. This title is becoming harder and harder to find in the UK.
James Fox, Jane Asher, Cathryn Harrison and David Warner star in this unholy tale of communion wine, women and song adapted from Joanna Trollope’s bestselling novel.

Leading the attempt to save the choir are headmaster Alexander Troy (David Warner) and the choirmaster, Leo Becford (Nicholas Farrell) – but others are quickly caught up in the bitter fight, including the Dean’s own wife Felicity (Jane Asher). As the conflict spirals through the close-knit community, the intrigue and subterfuge escalates and no-one can escape the consequences…”
