dangermousieI just discovered that North & South, an adaptation of John Jakes Civil War era magnum opus is on DVD.
*glee*
Anyone else remember it? I saw it when I was 15 or so and loved every soapy, trashy, glorious moment of it. It had period dresses, 1980s hair, hot HOT guys, angsty forbidden love (Orry/Madeleine 4 evah! :P), abolutionists, mustache-twirling villains (and villainesses), and uniforms. Lots of uniforms. HoYay too, if you are looking for it (George and Orry are totally BFF). Did I mention the angst? I admit to rewatching the scene were Orry finds out Madeleine's evil husband beats her a few times...ahhhhh the angst!
I am so getting it.
Samples of the "brilliant" dialogue:
Orry: It nearly killed me being away from you.
Madeline: Please... we mustn't say things like that to each other.
Orry: Why not? We feel them.
Madeline There's nothing we can do.
Orry: You don't love him. You are not his.
Ashton: I couldn't possibly love just one man, think how disappointed the rest would be.
