Movie Reviews of Flambards Collection Set
Movie Review: Ah, Memories...
Summary: 5 Stars
My Mom bought the series on DVD, and told my sister and I that it was one of the few series she'd stop everything to watch. She said she'd refused to go out Wednesday evening because Flambards was showing, so now she wanted us to watch it. My sister and I were reluctant. "It's another one of Mom's old movies. It'll be so boring." we said to each other. We sat down-- and fell in love. This series is so wonderful that it's just unbelievable. Or rather, completely believable. You watch it, and everything feels real. You feel like you're there. Everything works perfectly. Just beware, film quality is bad, and there aren't any special features (i.e. no trailer, no subtitles...). But even so, I wouldn't have missed Flambards for the world.Movie Review: Wonderful characters on the eve of WWI.
Summary: 5 Stars
The collection is just as wonderful as I remembered from the 1970's PBS series. I was not able to see all the episodes back then on TV. I have always wanted to see who got the girl. This turn of the century story is about young people who come of age on the eve of WWI. I wondered how they came up with so many airplanes of that early vintage. As the characters are developed, you come to really care about all of them. The servants lives are developed and contrasted to the upper class. The scenery is beautiful whether observed on horseback or in the airplane.
This collection is a long saga. Be prepared to get hooked and have plenty of time to watch it.
Movie Review: Easily a 10 Star Rating
Summary: 5 Stars
I first saw Flambards as a young girl. I was completely absorbed by the series, now many moons, years and decades later, I still adore this program. It's incredibly lovely, melancholy and addictive. It's one of those dvds you'll watch time and time again, never tiring of it.
I don't think enough praise can be given to the superb music score. I just received my soundtrack cd yesterday from David Fanshawe with no complications [..]. If you're an addicted Flambards fan, such as myself, do yourself a favor and & buy this lovely soundtrack! It's a joy to listen to.
Movie Review: Flambards DVD
Summary: 5 Stars
I also saw this on PBS may years ago and loved it then. Found I still do. It's the kind of programming that doesn't happen anymore and most likely never will. Probably beacause of the expense and the extraordinary time length. It is long. The person watching would have to be as religious about carving out time to view it as I was. But I don't mind the lenght because I think it helps make it true to the book. And that's important to me. I have never seen a remake of this. So, I love owning the DVD because I know I'll see it again and again.Movie Review: Flambards: Don't forget Dick
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my husband's favorite British import: we watch it once a year. The series so aptly caught the spirit of the Edwardian age. Other reviewers have discussed Christina's involvement with her cousins and the tragic loss of William which was very romantic. Mark was a drunken wastral and William a tender dreamer, but the series ends with Dick,the sensible, realistic stableboy,riding off with Christina to start the process of rebuilding Flambards and restoring a semblance of normality to life after the war.
