The main reason why I took to this 1979 BBC Drama Series was its emontional power. Cheryl Campbell is excellent, and flawless as Vera Brittain, and hardly puts a foot wrong. Watching this series again has made me realise how much of an impact it has made. It makes you feel that you're sharing the journey of life with her. You know what she's going through, what she's feeling, and in most of the scenes, you're relating to her, especially the death scenes, and the ghosts of those around her who went to war, and died plays an important role in the proceedings. This programme is also relevant to the Iraq war, and to those who have lost loved ones in subsequent wars that followed after the First World War. This programme should also serve as a warning ...

Greyfriars Bobby (1960) (Disney)starring: Donald Crisp, Laurence Naismith, Alex Mackenzie, Duncan Macrae, Gordon Jackson directed by: Don Chaffey October 04, 1999 Best Selling > VHS > Drama |

Having been to Edinburgh and seen the statue of Bobby, this film had some meaning for me. Film makers - including Disney - just don't make films like this anymore, probably because society has changed so much since this was filmed in 1960.
There is no violence, no swearing, the dog is real, and there is no animation or special effects - it's a sweet film that'll gently tug on your heart strings. It's innocence is so very touching and it's a classic example of the type of films my parents grew up watching and that I can now appreciate. If you're a dog lover then it'll warm your heart, and if you want to show your children a sweet film that will show them a bit of history, won't frighten them, or teach them bad habits then Greyfriar's ...

No, it NOT accurate from a historical perspective but I don't believe it was ever the intention to be a history lesson. What it appears to be, and succeeds in doing completely, is a re-creation of a time, a place and a mood. In that respect it is almost flawless. This is a portal to a time gone by. The production design, photography and atmosphere are stunning. It the nearest you will ever get to being in the 19th century West. Without this there would be no Deadwoood. An achievement that many do not understand or appreciate. Stunning. But it. Rent it. See it.

This film completely knocked me when I was 13. I had given up ballet when I was 10, but after seeing this film, struck me like a thunderbolt and I resumed dancing and enjoying classical ballet ever since. The melodrama didn't matter, it was mind boggling and I minded terribly about the end. But above all the shear theatricality of the story and rich colour designs by Heckroth set me on the road to a life time love of ballet and dancing. This is a classic film of it's time and lasts well, in spite of Moira Shearer's inexperience of acting, but bewitching dancing. Marius Goring is terrific.

I was induced to read Charlotte Bronte's "Jane Eyre," a beloved literary classic, at the relatively early age of eleven - all because I saw this movie. I had stayed-up late on a Saturday night, with my favorite aunt as company, and we watched the 1944 version of Jane Eyre, with Jane Fontaine and Orson Welles, on TV. At the conclusion, I noticed I had cried my way through a box of tissues and had become a fan forever. The next day I visited the library. Although I have seen three or four cinematic interpretations of "Jane Eyre" since that time, Director Robert Stevenson's production, co-written for the screen by Aldous Huxley, John Houseman, and Mr. Stevenson is by far my favorite. The writers and director remained faithful to Miss Bronte's magnificent work and brought this ... Read More:

I guess I am a purist when it comes to the classics. I like the movie script to follow the original work which I am sorry to say this movie does not. From the first scene in the movie, it is almost like they took extracts from all of the book's events and rearranged the entire timeline. Some of the scenes never happened, others did not happen as they were portrayed, there are many lines in the movie which never were uttered by any of Tolstoy's characters and to me the choices of actors for some of the roles were very misguided. Who in their right mind would choose Henry Fonda as Pierre. Pierre was described all through Tolstoy's epic as being fat, slovenly, very large, etc., wide of girth. Though Henry Fonda was a very fine actor, they seemed to have missed their mark. ... Read More:

I don't know what age audience the film makers were targeting but I imagine 13 to 18 would find it enjoyable, or if you have not read the book. If you have you will find it a very disappointing adaptation. I suppose some changes to the story line are inevitable if one only has 100 minutes to deliver over 240 pages of complex writing, but none of those changes enhanced enjoyment of the novel for me. The acting was so-so, over aggressive Tara Fitzgerald wearing one sultry expression from start to finish, and Anthony Delon delivering slightly over the top "Frenchness". Which is a shame....I came across the novel whilst on holiday in Cornwall (but of course!), and being a fan of du Maurier's work I thought I'd give it a go one afternoon and I could not put it down, ok the plot is ...
