Elaborate sets and costumes. A series made for that special kind of viewer.

I like this set, I had never seen Lorna Doone or Victoria and Albert, both of which are great. Tom Jones is not for families. It is very inappropriate and we could'nt finish it. We got rid of it. Also Jane Eyre is a slightly shorter version, it has been edited. We watched the same version from netflix and there are quite a few parts missing from this version.

Movie Reviews
Absolutely Wonderful!

"This collection is absolutely wonderful. I have enjoyed every one of the productions. My husband happened to come by while I was watching Lorna Doone and he decided to watch every one of them. It took a while to watch them; however, it was time well invested. The very best are Pride and Prejudice, Lorna Doone, Emma, and Tom Jones. Jane Eyre and the Scarlet Pimpernel are almost as good. It took us a while to warm up to Ivanhoe, but we did. You get a set of movies that will give you hours and hours of viewing pleasure for a very reasonable price. The quality is excellent - I already owned Pride and Prejudice and Emma and the quality in this set is exactly the same as the quality of my dvds. I definitely recommend it."

"Absolutely wonderful collection with all the great romantic movies I love...except Sense and Sensibility. Even with that omission, it is my favorite collection and worth every penny paid!!!"
A fantastic buy of incredible movies all in one!

"By far, a great amount of entertainment for the money! They have taken the best of the best, great acting along with incredible scenery and put it together so there are hours of escape into times long gone."
Very disappointed in the quality

"I am familiar with most of the stories and given that my husband enjoys watching these with me I figured it would be a great Christmas gift to each other. I was really disappointed because while Emma, Jane Eyre, and Lorna Doone were fine, Pride and Prejudice and Tom Jones are skipping often and sometimes we can't get through the scene - we have to stop and go to another scene, or my husband just gets really frustrated and doesn't want to watch the end of the movie.
This happened with Little House Season 1 (he bought that for me) as well - I noticed the reviews there mentioned similar quality issues.
