The Bostonians

122 minutes 1984 6.2

In the aftermath of the American Civil War, the historic battles of the wings are known in real time in Boston. Verena Tarrant, a gifted speaker, has landed on the radar of women's rights activist Olive Chancellor, who wants to recruit her for her cause. But at the other end of the tug-of-war over young Verena is the handsome but male chauvinist Basil Ransom, who wants to take Verena as his wife. With the beautiful New England landscape as a background, a new battle arises where the war ended, on a smaller scale, but with at least as much emotion.
