Sunday, October 6, 12:00 p.m. & Wednesday, October 16, 6:00 p.m. | Powell and Pressburger’s passionate Technicolor adaptation of Mary Webb’s novel follows motherless young woman Hazel, who refuses to be shackled either to her chaste clergyman husband or to the predatory squire who pursues her. Shot on location in Shropshire, the untamed, plunging landscapes seem to be at one with Hazel’s primal spirit. It is Powell and Pressburger’s most rhapsodic ode to the English countryside.
