Daniel Day-Lewis, Winona Ryder and Michelle Pfeiffer star in The Age of Innocence (1993), an absorbing and beautiful period piece directed by Martin Scorsese, who co-wrote the screenplay with Jay Cocks. The film is a faithful adaptation of the 1920 literary classic by Edith Wharton (1862-1937). Wharton's novel of manners is far removed from Taxi Driver, Raging Bull and GoodFellas, yet The Age of Innocence is one of Scorsese's best movies. Find out more about this film in The Age of Innocence DVD review.
