The Black Velvet Gown (1991)

In the 1830's in northern England, Riah Millican, a widow with three children, takes a job as housekeeper to a reclusive former teacher, Percival Miller. Miller makes Riah the gift of a black velvet gown, and even educates her children. But when Riah discovers the reason behind Miller's gifts, she vows to leave his house, but Miller has a hold on her, even after his death, when he leaves his house to her on the condition that she never marry. Riah's daughter, Biddy, grows up and becomes a laundress in a large house where her education keeps her from fitting in and makes her a target. But it also catches the eye of a son of the house, and with Miller's legacies, Biddy may yet find her way to happiness.

This movie really has two stories in one: first is the story of the widow with her three children searching for a place after being left peniless and alone; second is the story of one of the children growing up into a young woman and finding her own place in the world - the latter being the one I found most interesting. Biddy is a girl who is really too clever to be working as a servant, and too proud to hide it and act 'her place'. In those times, servants were not expected to be able to sign their own names, let alone read poetry and stories the way Biddy does, and boy does it get her into trouble. Biddy makes an excellent protagonist and heroine: she is clever but too proud to hide it; she is a servant but is unwilling to be told what to think; pretty but too cynical to welcome male attention; has no power yet stands up to injustice all the same. Overall, it was a movie I thoroughly enjoyed watching and one of the more optimistic of the Catherine Cookson series of films.
