RE: Gothic Romance movie/TV adaptations

Yes, those fit in the category as well as a lot of other "Mystery!" programs. Both versions of "The Woman in White" and both versions of "The Moonstone" aired on "Mystery!." There have been a few productions of "Jane Eyre" that have aired there. During the 80's, there was a series called "Shades of Darkness" on "Mystery!" where they adapted classic ghost stories, which were all very Gothic. There was an adaptation of "Brat Farrar" as well, though I haven't managed to track that down yet. Besides both versions of "Rebecca," "Jamaica Inn" was featured on the program as well as "Frenchman's Creek" (not really Gothic in the adaptation, though). I remember "The Tenant of Wildfell Hall" as well. Actually, for Gothic adaptations, "Mystery!" is probably the best bet we have. It's a shame many of these programs aren't available on commercial dvd. The Jeremy Brett "Rebecca" is likely to never be put on dvd due to rights issue, or so I'm told.

That's a shame, he was a great actor and definitely had a Gothic air about him!-still waters run deep, not quite all there in the head, if you know what I mean. Pity he died so young.

Of course, a lot of Sherlock Holmes stories were quite Gothic too.
