Fearnley’s Daniel’s Daughter (2007)
is a dopey melodrama about a working woman (Laura Leighton) who is about to
marry a rich man, but could find real true love with a pauper type, though part
of the message is that she is ignorant for wanting a career and could not
possibly make the right choices in men.
Though not always that arrogant, this is a telefilm dud and is to be
avoided.
The anamorphically
enhanced 1.78 X 1 image has all kinds of motion blur, suggesting it was shot in
digital video of some kind, maybe early High Definition equipment. It looks poor and should not be for a recent
production. The Dolby Digital 5.1 mix
sounds like much ambience to stretch out a simpler soundtrack. There are no extras.
