Firelight Bodice-busting period drama with Sophie Marceau and Stephen Dillane

Plot A governess agrees to bear a child for a secretive businessman, in return for the payment of all her father's debts. The child is taken away as soon as she is born - but several years later the governess accepts a new job on a remote estate, and finds herself face to face with the daughter she lost. Verdict Not exactly bad, Firelight is an interesting idea which merely simmers with passion and which outstays its welcome long before the closing credits.
