About this product
Product Information
Anthony Trollope has had many of his works brought to life on the screen, but few have been rendered with such grace and charm as HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT. Married life doesn't quite pan out as Louis (Oliver Dimsdale) and Emily Trevelyan (Laura Fraser) planned when they find themselves besieged by interfering--not to mention amorous--friends and relatives. In particular, Emily has to fend off some unwanted attention from potential suitor Colonel Osborne (Bill Nighy), leading to town gossip, and jealousy on the part of her husband. The events build to an explosive climax, with director Tom Vaughan expertly guiding the plot to a satisfying conclusion, and the cast delivering some touching performances.Product Identifiers

Painful story; well-done production
This story by Anthony Trollope is often painful to watch, as it focusses on the self-destructive behavior of a young married man in the 1850's. He becomes consumed by jealousy over his spirited, if rebellious, wife whom he met in the West Indies and then transported to London. She flirts incessantly with other men, in particular an old friend of her father's. When told to stop, she agrees but then goes back on her word. This starts a downward spiral of the husband from which he never recovers. The couple's young son is perhaps the biggest victim in the story as he becomes a source of endless intrigue and eventual kidnapping by the husband. Casting, scenery, set design, and remote locations are all first rate as are the performances of the many leading characters. The message has to be watch out who you become enamored with to see if they will really fit into your life. Also, avoid jealousy and suspicion of your spouse lest you become consumed by negative consequences. For a more upbeat depiction of life in 1850's England see "The Barchester Chronicles" by the same author. This must be one of the best dramas ever done by the BBC with many lessons for today. An outstanding cast, led by Donald Pleasence, Nigel Hawthorne, Alan Rickman, and Geraldine McEwan, is featured.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Great movie
This is a terrific movie. The characters are brought to life with love and compassion. The actors who portrayed these characters seem to become the character they played. The movie is very real and life like.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned

Not worth the time.
There is one recurring thread in this story -- a neither interesting or engaging argument that keeps beating it's head to no productive end or conclusion. It's a boring story with no direction forward.Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
