Movie Reviews of Foyle's War: Set 1 (The German Woman / The White Feather / A Lesson In Murder / Eagle Day)
Movie Review: Very entertaining - superb insight into wartime culture
Summary: 4 Stars
Beautifully photographed series with very good acting. The greatest value to the series for me has been the insights into how a constant condition of war touches and affects every aspect of the ordinary lives of non-combatants. We never stop and think, for example, how casket making becomes a wartime priority, or how valuable junk metals (tin cans) can be.
The story lines are always interesting and keep your attention. There is a bit of Deus ex machina when the plot is wrapped up. Foyle usually reveals some critical piece of knowledge that has been withheld from the audience or else something happens that causes everything to fall into place. That said, the plots are interesting, the characters well portrayed and the series well worth watching.

Summary of Foyle's War: Set 1 (The German Woman / The White Feather / A Lesson In Murder / Eagle Day)
An original masterpiece theatre mystery series set on the southern english coast against the backdrop of world war ii. Christopher foyle is a detective who is prevented from enlisting by superiors afraid of losing his talents on the home front. Studio: Acorn Media Release Date: 03/11/2003 Starring: Michale Kitchen Run time: 400 minutesFoyle's War is the rare mystery series that does more than plop a good detective into the middle of a decorative and bygone era. Created by writer Anthony Horowitz, Foyle's War makes profoundly resonant use of British society in 1940, a terrifying time in which the threat of an Axis assault on England disrupted ordinary life in often horrible ways, from the resettlement of city children (into the care of rural strangers) to a spike in xenophobia to a loss of personal freedoms. Against this heady backdrop is the near-solitary figure of Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen), a London investigator who would rather be fighting Hitler abroad but is stuck solving domestic homicides--generally sparked by wartime fervor--with the help of a plucky driver (Honeysuckle Weeks) and a steadfast assistant (Anthony Howell). Kitchen's magnificently measured performance and Horowitz's masterful grasp of the moral and dramatic issues of his battle-scarred milieu make Foyle's War a must. --Tom Keogh
