The B/Neers Ep1 Pt1

Based on a novel by Edith Wharton, The Buccaneers follows four wealthy young women -- Nan (Carla Gugino), Virginia St. George (Alison Eliott), Conchita Closson (Mira Sorvino), and Lizzy Elmsworth (Rya Kihlstedt) -- throughout their eventful journey from America to London. Though they set off intending to hunt down potential husbands for themselves, what they find has less to do with love and more to do with the repressive nature of turn-of-the-century English society. Shunned as "new money" by London's elite and courted by a slew of noblemen lacking any code of personal honor, the quartet is forced to examine society's focus on social status and personal wealth.

Carla Guigino was just in Mr. Popper's Penguins, and I see that she (like me) now has a LOT less hair than we had in our 20's. Ahh...and to think I used to hate my long, thick curls!! She still is an amazing acrtress. I LOVE this series and keep coming back to watch it late at night when I can't sleep. The costumes, the sets & decorating...the acting! Perfect.

GrearyLady,

After watching this on your channel, I ordered both the DVD and the CD.

I still occasionally watch when I'm online, out of convenience.

Thank you so much for posting it.

@creolelady182 The broke aristocrats had the name/prestige but no money. The newly-wealthy Americans had the money but no name/prestige.

@creolelady182 Status! Marrying an earl or duke whose family went back centuries and who could talk with the Queen was more prestigious than marrying a millionaire whose father was a pig farmer.
