Thackeray's classic novel of British and European society is set around the time of the Napoleonic Wars. Becky Sharp, the penniless, orphaned daughter of an artist and a dancer, and Amelia Sedley, the sheltered child of a rich city merchant are unlikely, but firm, friends. From the drawing rooms of Regency London to the fields of Waterloo, Vanity Fair tells their story. Filmed in London, Paris, Brussels and the Rhine Valley.
