The musical Robert and Elizabeth was my 1st experience of theatre,age 8.Been fascinated by their story and Victorian history ever since.This was a nice, straightforward brief documentary, interesting.

Hello Paul, I am very pleased to receive your kind compliments. Your news about the lady you met again is most interesting. The Internet is ideal for such reunions. I heard the Randolph Sutton song that you posted on your channel and I enjoyed it. I sang this song on my KZbin channel about 10 years ago. Best wishes Maurice

@@SamuelPeckman Will check out the video. As it happens, I didn't use the Internet to find Lynda. When I worked for the Electricity Board, she called in to pay her bill, so I memorised the address. She was married then, but when I learned she'd been widowed some time back, I thought I'd get in touch.

The Barretts of Whimpole St is a movie that helps illustrate the father (John Guilgood) and the children

Hello Drew, I am pleased that you liked this video. Much appreciated. Thank you for the information about the film. I will look out for this film. Best wishes Maurice

[@miapdx503]

I just saw the version with Norma Shearer.

[@SUECLAPSON]

Excuse me correcting comment about film...father played by Charles Laughton,excellently

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

@@SUECLAPSONLaughton was brilliant. The way his face changes as he reads his favourite daughter's letter to him, from haughty and dictatorial to tragic is so moving. You feel sorry for him, but then he turns and commands Elizabeth's dog, Flush, be destroyed. What an actor! Norma Shearer is such a fine, delicate beauty.Great film.

[@EyeOfScrutiny]

Terrific. Thank you!

[@SamuelPeckman]

I am very glad that you like this video about the great romantic story of the Brownings. Much appreciated. Best wishes Maurice.

[@jackbuckley7816]

Elizabeth's father was a strange man, dominating his offsprings' lives in an abnormal & paranoid type of way. He appears to have had underlying psychological issues, which clearly affected Elizabeth. She seems to have harbored a mysterious nervous disorder, probably caused by her father's unnatural dominance & demands, placing his daughter under enormous stress. Thank God that Robert was able to rescue the lady, elopement being the only possible alternative. Though their marriage & life together in Italy was a blissful one & healthful in particular for Elizabeth, it's a shame she died so young. Although "love-poetry" isn't among my favorite readings in this form of literature, I recognize the beautiful artistry of the woman's talent.

[@SamuelPeckman]

Thank you for your insightful comments. Much appreciated. Best wishes.Maurice

[@thedativecase9733]

When I was a kid everyone had seen the old movie The Barretts of Wimpole St on TV so Robert and Elizabeth's love story was well-known. Charles Laughton played Elizabeth's father and was superbly creepy and manipulative. He would have been an interesting case for the psychiatrists.

[@jackbuckley7816]

@@thedativecase9733 He would indeed---although, had it been possible, I probably would've preferred Elizabeth geting the help, as she was the one who was affected & suffered from it. Aside from the fact that psychoanalysis wasn't yet widely available or accepted, I doubt Elizabeth ever would've seen a psychiatrist---her father would've forbidden it!

[@Coach-ks5yd]

As bigotedcagainst women and self defeating. A lone person serving as the ideal of some politicians

[@margaretlahde8159]

I think her father was most in need of psychiatric help--seriously mentally ill. And abused her and her siblings. But did not stifle her courage and ability to love. I saw the 1957 version with Gielgud. ​@jackbuckley7816

Quite a fairytale, love like theirs makes this world both beautiful and terrible

[@SamuelPeckman]

Hello Versos, I agree. Thank you. Best wishes Maurice

[@AmandaWRU]

If you read detailed biographies of their life together you will discover that the course of true love doesn't run smooth and they had tempestuous rows like Victoria and Albert

[@elizabethcsicsery-ronay1633]

True love does often involve that.

"his wife had died, which is hardly surprising" 😭😭😭🙏🏻
