A Simple Twist of Fate
1994 - 107 min. - Color
Genre: Drama
Rated PG-13
Country: USA

LaserDisc Movie Storyline:
Steve Martin takes George Eliot's novel "Silas Marner" into the 20th century, and sets it in the American South.
   Ever since the demise of his marriage, Michael McCann has lived alone, bitter and angry. Then, mysteriously, a little orphaned girl wanders into his home, wins his heart and changes his life. But there's someone who knows the truth about her parentage... someone who might want to take her away.

LaserDisc Movie Review:
The story for this touching, adult drama was adapted from novelist George Eliot's classic 19th-century story Silas Mariner. Michael McCann is a recently divorced furniture maker who left his wife after she became pregnant during an affair. McCann is bitter, but finds renewed joy and purpose in his life when a baby girl is abandoned at his doorstep. He willingly becomes the girl's step-father. The child's real father is the wealthy, politically ambitious John Newland, who is viewed as a model of virtue by the community. The girl, Mathilda, was the result of his affair with a drug addict. To protect his image, Newland quietly makes sure that McCann gets legal guardianship of Mathilda. McCann and his daughter lead a happy fulfilling life. She grows up to be an intelligent and charming young woman. Newland quietly monitors her growth, and as she matures, suddenly finds himself jealous of McCann. After confessing Mathilda's true identity to his wife, who could not bear children, Newland embarks on a bitter custody battle to regain his daughter.
