A brilliant adaptation of a literary masterpiece-- often compared to the landmark miniseries BRIDESHEAD REVISITED in scope and impact-- A Dance to the Music of Time chronicles a half century of British upper-class life through the eyes of protagonist Nicholas Jenkins (James Purefoy, ROME). From the 1920s through the 1960s, friendship, adultery, ambition, and failure play out against the backdrop of London's social, political, and artistic life.
