| |  | Terrific Set for Period Films |  |
I've only just discovered Catherine Cookson's films recently. Being in the US, I never realized just how popular they are and luckily for me, they've adapted many of them to film. Of the 4 films in this 1st box set, I've only seen The Moth and The Wingless Bird. But those 2 have been such great productions, I can't wait to finish the rest. The production quality and actors are surprisingly first rate. Though not as grand as typical BBC productions, these films still capture that authentic feel for these periods. What I like most is that these stories and characters offer more than the typical romances. They always manage to also capture real issues of the day. I'm definitely going to look up the 2nd box as well.
April 30, 2008I bought this set for my mother and she loved it, so much so that I bought the next set. If you enjoy period drama then you can't really go wrong with this collection
April 7, 2008 | | Wonderful Historical Romance | |
These movies are wonderful and done in the most realistic fashion as only the BBC can do. They stick very close to Ms. Cookson's books and I will look at them over and over. This set is very nice and in some of them the ending is happy and some not so happy....but that is the way life really is. Also it was even harder in the UK in the past centuries for the poor. They knew their "place" and did not expect much. Just buy these if you like romance and history and you will not be disappointed.
July 27, 2007I am a long time fan of Catherine Cookson and have probably read most of her books. The film adaptations have been pretty faithful to the books and the production values have been top notch. It looks like a whole studio has been created just for her books! Any Cookson fan would be pleased with the transiton of her books to film.
July 13, 2007I purchased this DVD set for mymother-in-law. She was overjoyed with it and has raved about it. She is a huge fan of Catherine Cookson and really enjoys anything she has produced.
