Tom Brown's Schooldays
In an upper-class 19th-century English boarding school, a young boy suffers at the hands of a vicious bully-and is inspired by a forward-thinking headmaster. Based on the semi-autobiographical novel by Thomas Hughes, this Emmy® winning Masterpiece Theatre classic is a fascinating portrait of Victorian times. Anthony Murphy is adorable as Tom, Iain Cuthbertson (Gorillas in the Mist) utterly convincing as educational reformer Dr. Thomas Arnold.
