This is a movie that will probably appeal to a younger audience, but I will never forget the vivid description of what Birdy thought was the birds and the bees. Birdy's father desperately needs money, and marrying off Birdy is the only way he figures can work. And Birdy is equally determined that she will not marry under duress. Birdy carries with her a title, so she has currency. There is a lot of humor involved, most of it light hearted and towards the latter part of the movie, there is narration as if it is stage direction. There is a certain sweetness to the movie, showing the predicament women faced in 13th Century England.
