Back When TV Was (Occasionally) Great

I saw Brideshead Revisited for the first time over 25 years ago on PBS. For a boy my age it proved strangely compelling and revealed a world to me I had never seen and never will. Then, a decade later, I was old enough to appreciate the book itself which I have read twice over the years. I can honestly say that the TV adaptation is faithful to the book. Unfortunately, I have not seen the film yet but hear it is a serious disappointment. This 1980s British take on Waugh was devoid of political machination and that's why it has aged so well. Regardless, the mini-series is timeless and I rented all four CDs last week. It's easy to see why this production launched the magnificent career of Jeremy Irons. He's always been one of my favorite actors and I thought Anthony Andrews was a joy as well.

Bridehead revisited

This movie gives me goose bumps every time I watch it. It is tragic and exciting. I love it!

Brideshead Revisited

A wonderful production. The casting and the story line far superior to the current movie by the same name. It is woth getting to understand the real tale being told.

Great series

This purchase was made to replace the VHS version I made from cable twenty years ago.
It offers all I was looking for, i.e. a great series on a friendlier format.

Badly in need of subtitles

MARVELOUS STORY AND BEAUTIFUL PHOTOGRAPHY BUT LACKING SUBTITLES. HAD DIFFICULTY UNDERSTANDING SOME OF FLAT ENGLISH ACCENT DIALOGUE, ESPECIALLY JEREMY IRONS WHO SPEAKS IN A VERY LOW REGISTER. TURNING UP THE VOLUME DID NOT HELP AS DIALOGUE WAS COMPETING WITH BACKGROUND MUSIC. DO NOT HAVE HEARING PROBLEMS BUT THIS STORY WAS A CHALLENGE TO FOLLOW AT TIMES.
