Barbara Taylor Bradford's A Woman of Substance Reviews
A fun 5 hours
I had seen this on TV and owned the VHS tape - the DVD is terrific. The period detail is great.
Excellent book=Excellent Miniseries
A Woman of Substance is an excellent miniseries. The actors are great: Jenny Seagrove as young Emma and Deborah Kerr as the older Emma were wonderful. Liam Neeson as Blackie O'Neill was excellent as well. The location in which the miniseries was shot was great. It provided a great picture of the areas in which Emma lived throughout her life.
What I found most entertaining and just absolutely wonderful was the fact that this movie followed the book! I was completely thrilled while watching this movie that it so closely followed the book. I dislike watching a movie based on a book only to have things happen differently than the book. That is clearly not the case in this movie.
This DVD has a few extra features including an interview with Barbara Taylor Bradford and the filmographies of the actors. It also has an interview with Diane Baker who played Laura and was also the producer of the film. I found the interview with Barbara Taylor Bradford to be entertaining and informative. She seems to be a wonderful lady and it was great to hear her story and her writing history.
A Woman of Substance is an excellent movie based on an excellent book. Anyone who has read the book would love this movie. I think anyone who wants to read the book would just as well love the movie. It is a great movie to watch again and again!
