Boobirt Stylish but barely mediocre overall

Helloturia I have absolutely never seen anything like this movie before. You have to see this movie.

Tyreece Hulme One of the best movies of the year! Incredible from the beginning to the end.

Phillipa Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

dsmith10 This series was the apex of Masterpiece Theatre presentations. The late 70's through the mid 80's saw some of the best programming. The original Love In A Cold Climate had it all. Outstanding acting, excellent writing and great subtlety. It captured the mood of the intra war period with a brilliant plot. Whoever owns the rights should get this series to DVD. It will sell. I never understood the purpose of the remake. And why give it the sole stage for this story? Bring back the original with Alistair Cooke's introduction. Who can forget his tweed jackets, wry wit, carefully explaining anglo terms and concepts to an American audience. All Masterpiece Theatre DVD releases should include his introductions. It was a wonderful period where the erudite looked forward to Sunday evenings.

bfontaine Love In a Cold Climate (the first version, not the 2001 remake) is the best Masterpiece Theater series ever. The actors were perfectly cast and the dialogue was extremely well-written. I'm sure Nancy Mitford was proud!I have looked for this on video for years with no success. I'd give up every video in my collection to be able to see this one again. I went out and bought the book after seeing the series and have gone through several copies of it as my teenaged daughters read it, lost it, went to college with it.These characters have gone around in my mind over and over for years and have never lost their charm. I would recommend this movie highly to anyone.2010 - I read from another reviewer that the DVD series was available from a company in Canada. I ordered it and have since watched the series several times. It is every bit as good as I remembered from when I first saw it on PBS!

vze2c7x5 Are there just a handful of people who love and remember this mini-series? The story is so engaging and this production is a wonderful dramatization of the book.I love Nancy Mitford's books and so does my teenage daughter who unfortunately hasn't seen this miniseries. Does the story appeal only to women? I think that Nancy Mitford is comparable to Jane Austen as a novelist whose writings make great movies. Is the cost of producing the series on DVD thought to be greater than the potential market? Who controls the right to reissue this miniseries?I thought this miniseries was absolutely delightful and one of the best I've ever seen on TV. Why isn't it available on DVD?

janethomas678 This was such an excellent series, & yet it seems to have disappeared without trace Caught the book(s) so much better than the 2002 version, and was an altogether much richer and more colourful production, well cast and with superb acting.
