You have to like Shakespeare, and it helps if you have a basic knowledge of history to get the most from this set. If you do, it is engaging, entertaining and educational. Don't forget, much of Britain watched all fifteen episodes of this on television over a period of thirty weeks. That alone says a lot for the quality and entertainment value of this series. Personally, I think it is great. Having watched it, I believe I will read more books about the period, and maybe re-read the plays. I really enjoyed it.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

Shakespeare's history play in one box set? A no brainer.
Great performances with a limited budget. Great casting, see some of British actors before they were famous. The sets & camera work are a stiff. There are a few edits to the plays that weren't necessary. Way better than the 1980's color versions.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht

OLD WINES ARE OFTEN BETTER
One has to remember that this was recorded originally in 1960 when technology wasn't all that great and it was on FILM. So there are some slight lines here and there and it's not all colorized and digitized like modern copies of Gone With The Wind, but it's the way you actually saw it when you were watching it back in 1961, and so I like it. Behond the technology, the acting is wonderful and the casting is wonderful. You get to see some talent like Sean Connery and Dame Judy Dench long before they were famous; not to mention other great talent.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Low Resolution But Great Series
The package arrived fast and in perfect condition. The program itself is excellent, although in old-school 480p DVD quality. Some of Shakespeare's language has been curbed since this was a 1960's TV production (the plethora of not-so-subtle "dick" insults in Richard III have all been rewritten or removed, violence is toned down in Henry VI etc.) but the cast is amazing and the production design is beautiful. Worth it for Hardy & Connery playing opposite in Henry IV Part I. There's no other way to see this series, so definitely worth $20.00!Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Neu

Classic but archaic dialogue.
Course, that's what old Shakespeare had to work with. Once you get the rhythm of it and/or watch the subtitles carefully, the stories come through. Even then, it's gonna be pretty Greek unless you know some English history.Bestätigter Kauf: JaArtikelzustand: Gebraucht
