Aroview: Portrait of a lady adapted from the pen of Henry James profits from an exemplary Jennifer Jason Leigh performance - as an eccentric, plain young heiress who becomes desperately smitten with a suspiciously-interested Ben Chaplin. Sympathetic to the plight of women deprived of their independence in the upper-middle classes of the 19th Century. Maggie Smith and Albert Finney co-contribute strongly.
