This Preston Sturges treatment of young women growing up between the wars is innovative, and provides new insights from the female p.o.v. Of that generation's experience. It succeeds in part because of depth of character provided by Emily Beecham's outstanding performance, which contrasts with the caricatures provided by most of the other leading players.
The mini series works because the three distinct episodes cover very different decades with high production values. Tom Hooper's treatment on Love in cold Climate is likely to remain more accessible for the general public, but this production gives fresh perspectives and is a more adult picture of that world.
