Truly Dreadful

These movies are an insult to a wonderful writer. They would make a Tom Mix movies look like Oscar winners in comparison. Francis is unfailingly a great read but skip these movies. March 23, 2008

Dated

The stories are intriguing, but it is hard to not notice that they were filmed in the 80's/90's. The first two stories are better than the last one. The books are better. March 10, 2008

Dick Francis Mysteries - DVD

I truly wanted to see how Dick Francis books translated into movies. I enjoyed watching the three films, but have to admit that the books are much better. All three movies have the same character, a racing detective. I don't believe any of the Dick Francis books have repeated a character - one of the things I love about his books. October 25, 2007

Terrible

If you are a fan of quality British Mysteries (Inspector Morse, Inspector Frost, Touching Evil,Wire in the Blood, Last Detective, etc) and think you might be getting something like that with this series because of McShane of Lovejoy fame think again. This is an American made for TV movie with second rate American actors, terrible script and dialouge. To add insult to injury the Inspectors name in one of the films was Frost! Very cheesy America early 80's style TV B movies.

Classic 80's TV

OK, it's not high art, but it is entertaining. Ian McShane fans get to see him in a lighter comedy role. Fun to watch. The storied get better as the series progresses. April 17, 2007
