"Summary: In order to escape the Civil War, Spencer Brydon left America when he was 23 and spent more than 25 years in self-imposed exile in Europe. Now, at the age of 50, he has returned to a country that has undergone enormous changes in the intervening years. Both attracted and repelled by these changes, Brydon becomes obsessed by the person he might have become had he stayed. One of the properties he owns is The Jolly Corner, the house in which he grew up and to which he is irresistably drawn. Eventually, both he and Alice, the woman he might have married, confront his hidden self - she in a dream and he in a horrifying vision on one of his frequent visits to the house of his youth. Fritz Weaver and Salome Jens play the leading roles in this dramatisation of Henry James's story."
