Average Rating:	The Duchess Of Duke Street - Series 1 - Part 1 [1976] starring: Gemma Jones, Victoria Plucknett, John Welsh, John Cater, Richard Vernon December 28, 1994		Used Price: Â£9.50
Anyone who missed Gemma Jones' towering portrayal of Louisa has no excuse not to catch up now! The series is based on the true life story of Rosa Lewis and the Cavendish Hotel, and is fascinating in its portrayal of the struggles and triumphs of a working class girl as talent, luck and hard work take her to the top of Society. Anyone who enjoyed Upstairs, Downstairs can't fail to be hooked by this. Watch out for a recurring guest role for Eastenders' June Brown (Dot Cotton).It's a great story, beautifully written and directed, with faultless performances throughout. >>More Details

This video is well worth watching."Duchess" fans will not be disappointed. Bringing the first series to an end, each episode left me looking forward to the next time I could plan an hour to myself without the usual family distractions. Much of the action is away from the hotel, reflecting Louisa's success in achieving financial and social standing (up to a point!)The final episode could have signalled the end of the story - loose ends were tied up and there were no cliffhangers. However, there is a second series -hurray! Just one word of caution - although this video could be enjoyed independently of its predecessors, I would recommend you start from the beginning to fully appreciate the developing storylines. >>More Details

Average Rating:	Bridget Jones - The Edge Of Reason starring: Renee Zellweger, Colin Firth, Hugh Grant, Jim Broadbent, Gemma Jones directed by: Beeban Kidron October 10, 2005		Used Price: Â£0.01
I think the second one had more realistic feeling to it, what with her torn feelings being shown between Cleaver and Darcy. I felt for her particually when she was in jail and Mark visited and she reached out for his hand and he didn't respond. When I saw it in the cinema I was quiet shocked at the Rebecca and Bridget moment on the door step but hugely suprised. The signs were all there. I wonder in the 3rd Bridget film she tells Mark of her little kiss with Rebecca. All in all the film was good and now I look forward to the next. >>More Details

Average Rating:	The Devils [1971] starring: Vanessa Redgrave, Oliver Reed, Dudley Sutton, Max Adrian, Gemma Jones directed by: Ken Russell September 08, 1997		Used Price: Â£10.00
This film deserves so much more credit for what it achieves from Huxley's original. While some of the performances are a little shakey, this film represents one of the great Oliver Reed's finest moments - he exudes power and sexuality as Grandier, and the film achieves some particularly powerful/disturbing moments in the depiction of the ergot-addled nunnery. HOWEVER... This film has truly been victimised by the censors and there is Still no DVD version available - surely with the garbage which the censors let through these days this film can be restored and re-released? >>More Details

Average Rating:	Wagner [1984] starring: Richard Burton, Vanessa Redgrave, LÃ¡szlÃ³ GÃ¡lffi, John Gielgud, Ralph Richardson directed by: Tony Palmer February 13, 1995		Used Price: Â£22.95
A great film about a great man - albeit with some unpleasant traits. Dramatic portrayal of a dramatic life, from his early days as rising composer to friend, confident and 'in-house' composer to King Ludwig II of Bavaria.. Features all the struggles as he tries to stage the 'unperformable' Ring. Filmed on location and with great supporting acting from Redgrave, Guilgud et al. Most magical is the way the music is blended in with the action. The great chords of lament as the beginning of Act III of Tristan play as King Ludwig reviews with dismay the remains of his defeated army, for example. Subtle, yet powerful, telling of his affair with Cosima. A joy to watch, seven hours is just not enough!! >>More Details
