The Belle of Amherst (DVD)
Julie Harris reprises her Tony Award-winning Broadway role as Emily Dickinson in this one-woman interpretation of the great literary figure's life. Set against a re-creation of Dickinson's 19th-century Amherst, Massachusetts home, Harris reads from the reclusive poet's poems, letters, and diaries to offer a fully nuanced portrait of the artist as both a real human being and an often-tortured genius.
