THE CAMOMILE LAWN (Classic British Miniseries)

Mary Wesley's WWII tale of life and love among the leisured class. This lusty, darkly humorous drama stars Felicity Kendal (Rosemary & Thyme), Jennifer Ehle (Pride and Prejudice, Zero Dark Thirty), Tara Fitzgerald (Games of Thrones), Rosemary Harris (Spider-Man), Claire Bloom (Doc Martin, Brideshead Revisited), Rebecca Hall (Parade's End), and Toby Stephens (Black Sails). On August 1939, five cousins gather at their uncle's big house on the Cornish coast. Their youth and the imminence of war charge the air as they frolic on the fragrant lawn and tempt fate on the terrifying cliffs that one last sultry summer. As they return to the house nearly half a century later for a funeral, they recall how the war rearranged their lives and brought them suffering, sex, and love. (5 EPS, 1992)
