Product Description
European import. Plays on standard UK DVD players in English without subtitles. Collectors DVD Box set with 4 BBC TV mini-series: PORTRAIT OF A LADY - Late 19th century story about Love, and Betrayal ( By Henry James ) - WUTHERING HEIGHTS - An adaptation of the story about the two lovers Cathy and Heathcliff that conveys passion, jealousy, hatred and revenge - CASANOVA - Starring Frank Finlay and Norman Rossington. The Italian adventurer and libertine Giovanni Jacopo Casanova lived from 1725 to 1798, but in this six-part series Dennis Potter attempted to find a contemporary relevance through his central themes of sex and religion. He commented that Casanova "was concerned with religious and sexual freedom, and these are the things we have to address ourselves to now." Casanova was imprisoned in Venice in 1755, and Potter used that event as a central device, constantly inter-cutting to contrast Casanova's amorous escapades, radiant, joyful and brightly lit, with his oppressive solitary confinement in the gloom of a half-darkened cell. - TIPPING THE VELVET - Set in the 1890's, and tells the tale of music hall stars Kitty Butler and Nan Astley.
