"One of the world's most famous love stories comes to vibrant life in this lavish production filled with stunning scenery and a once in a lifetime cast! Nicknamed 'Camille,' the beautiful Marguerite (Greta Scacchi, Brideshead Revisited) sacrifices her honor to become a high society escort who only entertains the richest men in Paris. However, the young and dashing Armand Duval (Academy Award nominee Colin Firth, A Single Man) falls hopelessly in love with her and determines to win her heart. As their love blossoms, Armand's father (Academy Award winner Ben Kingsley, Gandhi) feels Marguerite is unworthy of his son and begins to interfere, while Marguerite has a shocking secret of her own that will alter the course of their lives forever. Also starring Academy Award John Gielgud winner (Arthur), Denholm Elliott (A Room With A View), and Billie Whitelaw (Quills), this Emmy Award-winning gem from the director of Clash Of The Titans is an unforgettable romance for the ages."--Container.
