This is the last film version of 'The Woman In White' to be released. Although made for television it's also available as a DVD. It was nominated for four BAFTA awards, and received the awards for Best Costume Design, and Best Lighting. People either love, or hate this screen version of the story. Compared to all the others that preceded it, it is one of the best. It's main problem is that over the years audiences have become more sophisticated and expect drama to accurately portray original period novels ~ an impossibility!

Justine Waddell
