A BBC adaptation of the Noel Streatfield book (which I loved when I was young). The three Fossil sisters (all orphans) study and perform in ballet, theater, and film in 1930s London. Emma Watson plays the eldest. A nice adaptation with only a few tweaks from the book plot (adding a romantic subplot) which don’t detract from the story. The costumes are, predictably, very nicely done (the BBC always does this era well).
