Magnolia Blossom starts off with a dinner party where guests argue about possible changes to the marriage vows with a government minister.
Theo Darrell married to a brash and crooked businessman Richard meets Vincent Easton, an orange plantation farmer from South Africa. Theo instantly falls in love with him and wants to run away with him.
However when Richard's company collapses and he is under police investigation, Theo puts loyalty to her husband before her own happiness. Theo learns the extent of her husband's betrayal that goes further than his crookedness and adultery. Theo has to reassess her own marriage vows.
Magnolia Blossom although made in the early 1980s really comes across as a creaky, arch love story from a bygone age. Ciaran Madden does well as a woman who puts duty before love. However like a lot of the productions in this series, it is for the Agatha Christie purists who dislike modernisation.
