Customer Review: I got this for my birthday and loved it. Its really great. I loved the songs in the movie so this was perfect. If you like the songs in the movie, but don't have time to watch the movie then this is the ... Read More
Customer Review: Did previous reviewer, Ralph Moore, just call us Pretentious? Just because we say we like Britten's opera? As if Verdi's take on Shakespeare precludes a different approach. Or Mendelssohn's interpretation of fairies ... Read More
Customer Review: How someone can refer to Rape of Lucretia and Turn of the Screw (or Midsummer Night's Dream, for that matter, my personal favorite among his many operas) as lesser works of Britten's is beyond me. I guess it is just a matter of taste, ... Read More

The only con that I saw is that the nanny describes herself as a "government nanny" (referring to her employment ... Read More
Customer Review: I ordered this series long before the movie came out. I really enjoyed it and was quite excited when I heard the story was being made into a film starring one of my absolute favs, Helen Mirren. This BBC series is MUCH better than the film. The relationships are explored more fully and I found the ending of ... Read More
