This BBC production of Silas Marner is excellent. The dialogue, casting, sets are all pretty perfect. The story is compelling and thought provoking, with ethical situations that are relevant to today. It is PG rated, so the family (13 and up) can watch it and discuss it, then read the novel.

Decent adaptation of the book. It is a touching story of the redemptive power of love. Ben Kingsley does a very good job portraying Silas Marner.

I loved the story, and the acting was top rate. I was afraid it would be very sad, but it was not. The main charachter had been wronged in his life numerous times,yet with the love of a child grew emotionally and his joy was complete.I decided to buy it because I really enjoy period pieces. I also knew Ben Kingsley to be an excellant actor. I read reviews on the story and decided to purchase the dvd. Englishrose
I bought this DVD to replace a defective copy that hung up 10 minutes before the end. This copy works fine and allows me to see the end of the story. A very good period movie!
