Oliver Goldsmith's classic comedy of errors comes to life on the big screen in this release of the five-episode series starring Mark Dexter, Roy Marsden, and screen newcomer Susannah Fielding. A lighthearted farce set in and around a lavish Jacobean manor house, She Stoops to Conquer tells the playfully convoluted tale of well-bred squire's daughter Kate (Fielding), who poses as a barmaid in hopes of charming her stuffy suitor Charles Marlow (Dexter). As the plot begins to twist and turn, the conniving cast of characters who inhabit the estate learn some hilarious lessons about the true nature of love.
