Christopher Reeve (Superman), and Oscar-winners Vanessa Redgrave and Linda Hunt (The Year of Living Dangerously) star in this poignant portrait of politics and passions. A major film achievement, The Bostonians received unanimous critical acclaim, and has been praised as "exquisite and fascinating," "riveting," "a knock out" and "extraordinarilty sensual." The story is a 19th century triangle of sorts, involving two young women and a man.

But Verena is also loved by Basil Ransom (Reeve), an impecunious young lawyer from Mississippi with views strenuously opposed to the Boston feminists but a will as strong as any of them. The contest is met between Basil and Olive. The prize: possession of Verena, who loves them both and must steel herself for a passionate choice.
