One of the world's most famous love stories comes to vibrant life in this lavish production filled with stunning scenery and a once in a lifetime cast! Nicknamed "Camille," the beautiful Marguerite (Greta Scacchi, Brideshead Revisited) sacrifices her honor to become a high society escort who only entertains the richest men in Paris. However, the young and dashing Armand Duval (The King's Speech, A Single Man) falls hopelessly in love with her and determines to win her heart. As their love blossoms, Armand's father (Academy Award® winner Ben Kingsley, Gandhi) feels Marguerite is unworthy of his son and begins to interfere... while Marguerite has a shocking secret of her own that will alter the course of their lives forever. Also starring Academy Award® John Gielgud (Arthur), Denholm Elliott (A Room with a View), and Billie Whitelaw (Quills), this Emmy Award-winning gem from the director of Clash of the Titans is an unforgettable romance for the ages.
