Where was I in 1997, when this wonderful two-parter ran on PBS? Asleep, or out of the country? Any road, thanks to a reminder from Drew Lebby, I just got Painted Lady from Netflix.
It was written (by Allan Cubitt) for Helen Mirren after her Jane Tennison Prime Suspect series. And Mirren is riveting in a role which you might not have imagined her at first. She plays Maggie Sheridan, a former rock star now, at 50, reduced by drink and drugs to living rough on the streets of New York.
Maggie is rescued by a childhood friend, who takes her to his father's estate in Ireland. There, all hell breaks loose -- art theft, murder and one of the scariest screen heavies I've seen in a long time, played brilliantly by John Kavanagh. There's also some lovely glamor and romance as Maggie takes on the identity of a rich Polish countess and gets involved with an Italian count, a fine job by Franco Nero.
Who could ask for anything more?
