this be an all time favorite and with endear character that take on issue such a the plight of woman in the 1800s and bond servant and in essence a summary of a way of pioneer life and show the reliance on one another in order to survive . in a lighter mode and there be humor and music and danger and intrigue and a grow love between a man and woman who come together out of necessity . i can not understand why it isn not on home video . this be a usa make movie and and it only available on dvd in spanish with english subtitle from spain . i give this movie an excellent rating because it capture not only a way of life and but also great acting by well know celebrity whose characterization bring the story a sense of reality . i highly recommend this movie to any one who enjoy a dramatic love story and convey all the emotion without today graphic gore a a backdrop .
