Featured review
This lovely film, about the life of Beatrix Potter, portrayed England at the time of her life. No frills or fancy bits. It showed how hard it was for her as a youngster, growing up in a strict Victorian household, with only a Nannie as a companion. It was she who helped Beatrix smuggle into the house the animals she subsequently drew. She was also a fine botanical artist but her parents would not all her to follow this career. I originally had this recorded on an old VHS tape, but as this wouldn't work on today's machines I discarded it. I have been looking for another tape or DVD ever since. I would love to know where I could obtain one. The modern version was good, to a point, but not a patch on the original. Penelope Wilton is such an under-rated actress.
