Forster's writing and subject matter are as relivant and engaging as if written today! So far ahead of his time, the Merchant-Ivory movies of Forster's "A Room with a View," "Howard's End," et al is perhaps surpassed only by the ground-breaking and exquisite movie version "Maurice," the book of which was only to be released after his death! This 2-disc product ("...View") is excellent quality and absolutely like new. Thank you to the seller for providing this extremely difficult to find OOP video at such a reasonable price!

I picked this up in VHS format years ago at a convenience stores dollar bin (or something like that). I thought.."Well, it looks like a period piece, I might like it and its cheap enough."...OMG..I was completely BLOWN away. The music, the tongue in cheek assessment of the Edwardian Era..plus..if you are a Maggie Smith fan, you will love her version of Miss Charlotte Bartlett, the uptight chaperone of Miss Honeychurch. It also almost converted me to opera...the opening piece is breathtaking...one of the best surprises I've ever had.
I wanted a copy of this film and everywhere else That sold dvd's wanted at least $20.00 for the same title. The DVD arrived in flawless condition and plays perfectly. A truly candid view of love and courtship in ridged Victorian times.

This is a lovely film that begins in Florence, Italy. It follows the travels and love interests of a young English girl with her proper English chaperone. Like many BBC productions the costumes, horse carriages, lavish estate homes and wonderful actors make every scene very realistic. Very well done. One of those movies you will watch over and over again if you like comedy and romance. This movie is hard to find in the stores but easy to buy on ebay. I saved $10 off retail when I bought it on ebay and that made me happy too!
Great Ivory Merchant movie with a great cast. A tastefully done nude sequence.
