Based on the gothic Victorian novel by Wilkie Collins (a contemporary of Dickens), "The Woman in White" tells the story of Laura and Marian, two half sisters plunged in the center of a dark plot. The recently married Laura begins to suspect that her husband is not the man she thought he was; as sinister forces threaten to engulf her in tragedy, her only ally and hope is her beloved sister Marian. But can two unprotected women escape a deadly fate? And who is the mysterious woman in white who crosses their path repeatedly, only to then disappear without a trace? This fantastic movie was featured as an episode of "Masterpiece Theater" in 1997. This intense, dark tale will keep you on the edge of your seat, as you follow Marian and Laura through a dangerous journey in which unspeakable evil lurks at every corner, and hope seems but an faint light in the distance, shrouded in dark, unforgiving secrets.
