The Girl

In mid-19th century Northumberland, Hannah Boyle is left with the family of Matthew Thornton, the man her dying mother claims fathered her. Ill-treated by Thornton's bitter and vindictive wife Anne, who views Hannah only as evidence of her husband's infidelity, she is married off to the village butcher, whose waspish mother torments her further. But through her patience, intelligence and strength, she wins her freedom and the man she loves.

Another Catherine Cookson classic

A good story never fades or ages, and that can be said for all of the movie-versions of Catherine Cookson's powerful novels. In spite of this movie being almost 20 years old, the power of its story and the depiction of the mean-hearted, neglectful wealthy and the struggles of the poor in Britain's North East, the hallmark setting of a Catherine Cookson story, remains timeless. Like all the movie-realizations of her novels, we're shown an almost green-and-pleasant England with its fair share of cruelty, nobility, non-starry-eyed romance, and tragedy transforming into personal triumph. All 2+ hours of this story will fly past in almost no time leaving you sorry that you reached the end.

Catherine Cookson Is fabulous

The Girl is one of my favorites but I would gladly watch all of her movies my grandmother introduced me to the Mallen books in 1970 I read all I could then I found them on utube I watched An now we are no longer able to see these great movies.In America we are in a different region code An can't buy them to watch with out purchasing a new DVD player that's expensive to do. So please play her movies we will all be happy if u do ,we love all these the girl is excellent!
