Lorna Doone and John Ribb were destined for one another. As a child of nature, Lorna rescues John after he fell into the drink while fishing. After that, John Ribb was history!
The film was well-photographed, but extremely dark in places. There was a star-studded cast with Polly Walker as Lorna, Clive Owen as John, and the incomparable Billie Whitelaw as John's mother Sarah. Rachel Kempson is delightful as Lady Dugal.
It turns out that Lorna was not a Doone at all, but of aristocratic pedigree in the Dugal clan. By the end, John has been dubbed a knight by King James II.
Carver Doone was one of the most despicable villains imaginable. It was never clear who was the woman who gave birth to Carver's son, little Ensie. Carver is clearly obsessed with Lorna.
By the end, both Lorna and John are the worse for wear. Lorna is shot by Carver, and John is nearly killed. With both attired in nightgowns at the end, they finally have the opportunity to concentrate on more serious matters of the heart.
