These three programmes(films) appear to be an Irish Canadian collaboration and quite frankly now having watched two of them I can see why they never appeared on U K TV. They are 'naf' poorly produced, and poorly acted...most of the actors trying to be 2 decades younger than they are and in very bad wigs. What more can I say! However I am pleased to have bought them, not very good quality DVD's...sound variations throughout, but for a Dick Francis/Lovejoy fan I am pleased to have seen them.
This set of DVD's is of the best for entertainment,content and watchability.I would recommend them to any one who wants a comfortable relaxed risk free viewing period.The cast and the storylines are very good,the settings first class."They don't make em like this anymore"mores the pity. I would highly recommend them,moreso if one likes stories with a horsey theme that Dick Francis is noted for. G.
I was terrily disappointed. I love the Dick Francis books and audio tapes, and I did enjoy the TV series, which is why I bought these. BUT... they are nothing like the books. Yes, the story follows the book, in a very rough way, but the main character is definately not believable. He obviously could not have been a jump jockey, and the Jockey Club do not usually employ people who look like con men. There was no womanising in the books, but here that is all the stories are about. Man chases woman, while some crooks get in the way. I have no intention of keeping these or watching them again.
Poor sound and average screen play, made the 3 stories second rate productions. The actors made the best of what seemed a limited budget. At times the individual shots were held too long, and others too short. I have enjoyed all Dick Francis books, which have a strong beginning and an equally balanced story and ending. Maybe the dated making of the DVD plus the poor production, were not good value for money, although I still enjoyed watching all 3 DVD's.
I DIDNT RELISE IAN MCSHANE HAD MADE THE DICK FRANCIS MYSTERIES,SO WHEN I SEE IT FOR SALE ON EBAY I THOUGHT IT WAS WORTH A VIEWING AND I WASNT DISSAPOINTED,
