The Woman in White BBC Pt5

[@laurabrowning7973]

I read the book several years ago and have seen other adaptations which did not do it justice. This followed the book faithfully. It was so well written, acted, and directed. The settings and costumes were magnificent. Even though I know the story, this series had me on the edge of my seat until its conclusion. I couldn't stop watching until the end. Thank you so much for sharing this with us! Like another reviewer, I never knew this existed and I am so glad I stumbled upon it!!

Thank you so much for uploading. I have read the book several times. I love it much.

[@erciliaflores]

Thank you again, for the upload. I really liked Hartright, and this actor is so handsome. Wonderful filming locations

[@kateunused]

a great periodic series thanks Jo! The Brits sure do intrigue well and the acting was tops.

[@marypagones6073]

The very best BBC adaptation of a book ever, in my opinion. I saw it when it first aired when I was a child and it touched off a lifetime love of British literature.

[@OFWarhhbTN]

Mary Pagones, I agree wholeheartedly. Especially amazing is Jenny Seagrove as Laura - the only "true to fiction" actress to portray a Victorian heroine as written. I cannot believe that it is almost completely overlooked in mentions of ‘film versions" of the novel.

[@viviennehayes2856]

I've just finished reading the book and thoroughly enjoyed it. Thank you for uploading this; as people here have said, a very good mini series indeed and so much like the book 😊.

[@cmwish]

Thank you so much for uploading this! I've enjoyed it very much.

Alas, we are not told about Fosco's ignominious end.

[@keithnaylor1981]

The movie - The Woman in White, 1997, starring Tara Fitzgerald, is also a very admirable drama, but with a running time of just 2 hours this shortened and changed story-line may not please those who are familiar with the novel.

[@keithnaylor1981]

Quite wonderful - the decor, the costumes - all comparable to the beauty of the dialogue, and the performances are immaculate, particularly that of Alan Badel as Count Fosco. I would love though to have seen the wedding ceremony between Walter and Laura! The ending was, I am pleased to say, as all great dramas should be - an emotional tearjerker!

[@thetinychapel]

"My buttered toast waits for nobody!" Must try to use this line somehow!

[@Κορυθαίολος]

Taken from the book exactly as it is.

[@monicaswavel6074]

Great movie!

[@deborahrobertson8606]

Beautiful adaptation. Thank you for this.

[@JamesE707]

Watched it several times to help join up all the dots. Fosco is indeed positively creepy.

[@cieleglass502]

Thank you so much for the upload, Jo! Iread the book during a Nantucket vacation, then watched two versions of it, and this is my favorite, which I didn't even know existed. Thanks again!

[@honeygirl3666]

EVERY EPISODE HAD ME BREATHLESS...JULY 15, 2018...PEACE.

[@Zb-uo2bl]

Silver tung Devil, is the term!

[@ant7936]

I finished reading the book this week and this excellent production was very faithful to Collins' story. The acting by a British cast, the sets and costumes, were outstanding (unlike many "diverse" modern productions). Thanks.

[@lizbdt4247]

Awesome!!!! Thanks for uploading!!! 💙💙💙💙💙

[@triddell]

Brilliant crime story. Astonishing love story.

[@theresiacsepregi4086]

Great series, love watching period dramas

[@jboyce77]

Just like she said.....no grand scheme of murder is so perfect as to not contain one flaw capable of making the murderer know......or something like that.

[@MsDormy]

I think, nut don't quote me, that in the book the brotherhood caught up with Fosco before he could do any more mischief - but it does leave it hanging a bit in the end here, doesn't it? Great adaptation, though.

[@OFWarhhbTN]

The original does show Fosco dead in the morgue in Paris.

[@forevereign7759]

That's good. I didn't read the book and this left me worried about the duel. Thanks!

[@debraslone281]

Great movie really enjoy 😊

[@NarnianLady]

Excellent acting. Bravo BBC!

[@MsDormy]

Thank you for putting this on the toob, Jo - made my Christmas!

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

This mini-series is so good that I can't understand why the DVD is Region 2 only!

[@barbarella1.301]

Thank you.

[@MandyStMarie]

Just found this. Have u seen version w/Justine Wadell & Andrew Lincoln, BBC and wonderful. 2 hrs, I think? Please, what is region 2? Thanks...

[@drpatrickbarry]

They made a lot of changes from the book in that one

[@OFWarhhbTN]

Region 2 means the DVD can’t be played on DVD players in the USA. I’m not sure about any other geographic limitations, and it can be played on a computer.

[@reginamoore6897]

DAMN GREAT. MOVIE! !!!...Bravo!

[@robertboyle2573]

So Fosco fancied Marion, no one can blame him for that.

[@missyadams]

In the 2018 version he kissed her on the lips before she pushed him away. Gross.

[@poshberrykd]

i really enjoyed this, such Drama may i dear say. Lol

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

Fosco is described as gracefully obese in the novel, and I think Fosco in this adaptation has a voice that sounds like graceful obesity!

[@b.a.sanchez6615]

Why don't you try the 1948 movie version with Eleanor Parker, Alexis Smith, Sydney Greenstreet, John Abbott and Agnes Moorhead. Not exactly the same adaptation, but extremely fascinating as well. It's on DVD now.

[@kirsteni.russell5903]

Sidney Greenstreet is an impressive Fosco, but Hollywood took such liberties with the story that I find that relatively short adaptation harder to sit through! But then, I only recently read the book and saw this mini-series, which captures so much of what I read. The 1948 version will be more fun for me after I haven't been immersed in the novel or the mini-series in quite a while.

[@zharapatterson]

@@kirsteni.russell5903 Amen! I Strongly agree .

[@Jossianne19130]

PLEASE CLOSED CAPTION!!!

[@jboyce77]

Wait......that's how it ends??? Did he meet him or did I misunderstand? Wasn't he supposed to meet him....you know....i'll send you the length of my sword etc. etc.....ah well....she's restored!!

[@nicholassterling8483]

+Jul Dal There is a final section cut off the end. We see one more view of the original Woman in White as we saw her in the first episode, and then we see the dead Count, with his left sleeve rolled up and his white mice running across his body.

[@maryfrier9243]

Jul Dal i

[@OFWarhhbTN]

Jul Dal Yes, it was faithful to the book to the end. The only genuine Victorian lady I have ever seen in any adaptation. All the others seemed unable to fully adapt to the earlier woman as written. They cannot shed the 20th century, at least a little of it.

[@monicaswavel6074]

@@nicholassterling8483 yes I remember that

[@ant7936]

Fosco ends up on a slab in the mortuary, with a knife wound under his heart, presumably delivered by the "brother" who followed his coach, when he left.

[@stanochocki8984]

Interesting, but over-blown. Either as a novel or as an adaptation. So Pesca is an Anarchist? LOL...all of this melodrama, would have been cut short if dear, precious Laura had more wits about herself and her choice in Men. Like a Greek Tragedy, she is the catalyst that causes much pain to others. Sad, so preventively-- sad.

[@OFWarhhbTN]

stan ochocki you can’t shed the 20th century. This is an almost perfect adaptation of the book; the attitudes and decisions were motivated differently then.

[@ant7936]

@@OFWarhhbTN Exactly.

[@missyadams]

Sir Percival was NOT her choice, it was an arranged marriage

[@MsVanorak]

only a few years earlier she wouldn't have had the money. upon her marriage all would have become her husbands by law. women usually were not allowed to have property or money.

[@missyadams]

@@MsVanorak about 1882, the law was changed, women were allowed to keep their fortune and leave it to whoever they choose

Now that whole show was a load of Bollox.
