The Forsytes Concludes

Fleur, the once flighty daughter of Soames Forsyte , has changed her ways, and is now determined to be a loyal wife to her husband, Michael. Her past doomed love affair still haunts her, but she manages to keep her head down – then, Michael’s young cousin, Dinny, comes to stay.

Eurovision Song Contest
