Question Again-thank you for the "Fire With Fire" movie title!!!!!
I have a new question. There was a movie I saw, it might have been on tv or made for tv, in the 80's. It was set in the 18th or 19th century and this man kidnaps this young lady, holds her in his home to destroy her reputation and when she escapes he has someone accuse her of stealing, she is thrown in jail, and even when she has an opportunity to leave the jail, she thwarts him and chooses to stay and refuses to eat, then dies. It's tragic, but I would love to find out what it is and see if I could find it again. -thanks, Sandy
Answer Hi Sandy, glad I could help you with finding "Fire With Fire".
I'm fairly sure you're looking for the movie "Clarissa".
"Clarissa Harlowe is a young 18th-century Englishwoman. Her family have aspirations to move into the aristocracy and want her to marry the repellent Mr Soames as part of their plan. Clarissa manages to escape from them with the help of the handsome Lovelace, whose intentions towards her prove to be less than entirely honourable."
