This is a good example of how any book can become recreated in the tawdry image of modern liberal America.Worse still, this adaptation actually seems to attempt to make heroines out of brainless young women who come to England with their boobs almost hanging out of their dresses, giggling about everything, taking nothing seriously, in love with, and toying with, the idea of becoming aristocrats but intensely chauvinistic about their superior American-ness.They become upset when the stupid decisions, of all but one of them, to marry, culturally and in every conceivable way, unsuitable partners and, like today's American women, of course it is everyone's fault but their own when things go awry.I noted with interest the way the adaptation changed a great deal of the novel to achieve this transformation makes it worthless as an instructive tale, and just another mindless liberal television drama which, at ten a penny, would be overpriced.
