1934 Nominee

100 Words
Based on a truly disturbing story, bedbound poetess Elizabeth Barrett falls for Mr. Browning through correspondence. Unfortunately, Liz’s dad wants to keep her a little too close, along with the rest of the family – good gracious, there is a lot of them! Henrietta and the other several hundred (perhaps it’s less than that) Barretts hole up in their charming London home at daddy’s orders and must obey or face his wrath. Can true love bloom for two Cupid-struck daughters under the shadow of such a life? Even Flush shuffles to his fluffy chair when the master of the house arrives.
