The CLONING OF JOANNA MAY

The CLONING OF JOANNA MAY
   UK tv miniseries (1991). Granada/ITV. Prod Gub Neal, dir Philip Saville, screenplay Ted Whitehead, from The Cloning of Joanna May (1989) by Fay WELDON. Starring Patricia Hodge as Joanna May, Brian Cox as Carl May, Billie Whitelaw as Mavis, Siri Neal as Bethany, and Emma Hardy, Helen Adie and Laura Eddy as the three clones.Weldon's comic-romantic melodrama about an obsessive business tycoon who effectively clones his wife, then repudiates her when she is unfaithful - with the aim of taking one of the three clones as his new wife when they have grown up - is already painted in broad strokes. The three-hour tv dramatization is even broader, though not unwitty, with finely over-the-top performances all round.
