- TriviaWith a budget of over £3 million, 'Clarissa' was filmed from 29 April until 19 July 1991. Locations included several large country houses (one in the north of England, another near Stratford, and a third in Hampstead). Some exteriors were shot outside The Inns of Court in London but much of the filming was done at London's Ealing Studios, where a three-storey Georgian house was specially constructed for the series.

Featured review
Finally released on DVD (in UK)!!!
This fabulously intense British costume drama has, at long last, been released on DVD (it was never available on video), though only in the UK for now. Odyssey Video released it in mid-May, and it can be ordered through amazon.com.uk. No word yet on a U.S. release.
