'Visions Of A Gilded Age' Film Series: The Bostonians

"Visions of a Gilded Age" film series: The Bostonians (1984, 120 min.) Vanessa Redgrave and Christopher Reeve lead a distinguished cast in this classic Merchant-Ivory adaptation of the James novel, set among the women’s suffrage movement in nineteenth-century New England. Out of the same era and milieu as the American artists featured in the Clark’s summer exhibition, Like Breath on Glass: Whistler, Inness, and the Art of Painting Softly , the novels of Henry James and Edith Wharton have elicited a wide range of film adaptations, which this series, "Visions of a Gilded Age: Film Adaptations of Henry James and Edith Wharton," will survey.
