"A film of stately grandeur
and visual splendor!" -- The Los Angeles Times
An adulterous affair between a married Irish woman (SARAH MILES) and a dashing British officer (CHRISTOPHER JONES) unleashes her burgeoning sensuality -- and sets off an explosive chain reaction of bigotry, betrayal and fierce emotion -- in this powerfully passionate story set against the backdrop of World War I. This timeless romantic epic magnificently captures both the breathtaking beauty of Ireland's rugged coast, and the fervent passions of its people.
