Is love more
valuable than gold? Discover the
important answer in this faithful and critically
acclaimed adaptation of the 1861 George Eliot
novel. Silas Marner (Ben Kingsley, Gandhi,
Schindler's List) is a lonely, bitter miser living
the life of an outcast. When he is robbed of his
gold, he plummets into despair until a golden
bundle of treasure?a foundling?appears on
his doorstep, and his life takes on a redemptive
new direction. Co-starring Jenny Agutter (The
Buccaneers, Agatha Christie's Poirot), Patsy
Kensit (Adam Bede, Lethal Weapon 2), this
classic 1985 BBC production was nominated for
six BAFTA? awards and was hailed by Variety as
"...a masterful achievement."
