| | Customer Reviews: A Riveting Series (23 July 2010)This series is so well cast and acted that one forgets that it is in black and white. All the characters are so real,that it is easy to get totally involved. A better series has yet to be made. An "oldie" but a real "goodie" (16 July 2010)Most people never heard of John Galsworthy and that is their loss. Fantastic series of novels, fantastic BBC production and it still holds it's own in stunning black and white. Forget the remakes in color, very poorly done. This is one of the definitive drama series which put PBS and BBC America on the map. IT is a must purchase, you won.t regret it. and...by the way it was not written by Eric Porter and Margaret Tyzack - can't you guys at least proof read your stuff!! They starred in it, Tyzack as Winifred Soames's sister -Soames played by Eric Porter. Forsyte Classic (13 March 2010)The 1967 BBC production of "The Forsyte Saga" on DVD is a classic. Even in black and white it stands alone in its genre. The production captures the heart and soul of John Galsworthy's story because of the excellent casting, direction, and skillful use of resources. You forget the production was made on a limited budget. We do not see actors merely speaking their lines while relying on their personalities and star power. We see real people and share their feelings, ideas, loves, and hates. It's all there: the tapestry of human life as experienced in Victorian England. Buy this set. You won't be disappointed! The Forsyte Saga (10 February 2010)Wonderful adaptation of Galsworthy's great book Some video issues,Black and white,but well worth having. Love this Series (05 February 2010)I remember when this first aired when I was in high school. I absolutely loved the series - particularly the first half. I've been looking to buy for a very long time but until now the price was prohibitive. I absolutely recommend this 'original' Forsyte Saga for all lovers of historical/semi-historical romance/drama and old-fashioned soap-operas as well. |
