Customer Reviews
David Suchet as Melmotte makes this set a 'Must Have'!
This entire Trollope DVD set is a winner, but The Way We Live Now is absolutely phenomenal and ranks among the finest of such screen adaptations that I've ever seen in my life. Furthermore, if you thought that David Suchet was a great actor, wait till you see him as Melmotte, a Robert Maxwell of the 19th century. Suchet's performance is stupendous and anticipates his masterful handling of the role of Robert Maxwell in the TV film 'Maxwell' which I'm also desperate to get on DVD. If you value the BBC's tradition of impeccable production standards in period adaptations of novels as much as I do and enjoy a good thriller to boot, then buy this set at the excellent Amazon price!
Classic BBC drama
Wonderful to have a record of these excellent BBC productions of some of Trollope's best work. Donald Pleasance is outstanding as the Warden and contrasts beautifully with his worldly son-in-law, played by Nigel Hawthorne. Geraldine McEwan's Mrs Proudie is a tour de force and Alan Rickman plays the hateful Obadiah Slope (the role which launched his career). Fascinating to see David Tennant shine in a small but telling role as a vacillating clergyman in 'He Knew He Was Right'. The third drama, 'The Way We Live Now' provides a Victorian parallel with our own times. Costumes and settings are all beautiful and the quality of production very high.
excellent
This series is excellent from start to finish. The stories by Trollope are interesting and stimulating. The actors are all first rate, though I would say that Donald Pleasence is outstanding. Best of all, to hear the English language spoken in a completely intelligible manner is a pure pleasure.
