Diana Rigg & Jeremy Brett in 'Grace' (1974) | Classic British Period Drama | Henry James

This rare gem features a stellar cast of British acting royalty: Diana Rigg (The Avengers, Game of Thrones), Jeremy Brett (Sherlock Holmes), and George Cole (Minder). The story centres on Captain Yule (Jeremy Brett), a radical young politician who inherits a magnificent but heavily mortgaged ancestral home. Enter the ruthless financier Mr. Prodmore (George Cole), who offers to clear the debts on two conditions: Clement must marry Prodmore's daughter, and switch his political allegiance to the Conservative party. The arrival of Grace (Diana Rigg), a wealthy and charismatic American widow with a passion for English heritage, changes everything. What follows is a witty and sophisticated battle of wills, politics, and romance.
