To Be The Best [VHS]

As new

I think I am like the majority of people to review this, I would have been much happier if the characters had been played by the same people as the previous films in the series. I really like Lindsay Wagner, but to me Paula is Jenny Seagrove and Stephen Collins is her husband Shane. Also what was going on with Anthony Hopkins role, the security guy? In the book there is never any hint of romance between Jack and Paula, yet in this film. I have got to say, it was very disappointing. Loved the first two movies, followed the books really well. But this one is all wrong for me.

Bought this as a gift for someone who loves the 'woman of substance' series of books by Barbara Taylor Bradford. It isnt my kind of film but if you like period dramas and enjoy BTB in novels then Im sure you would enjoy this. Good actors and for the price an absolute bargain. Im sure the recipient will be pleased.

Barbara Taylor Bradford's To Be The Best [1991] [DVD ]The last book in Miss Bradford's trilogy is once again extremely good viewing and I have thoroughly enjoyed all three films. The books have covered all aspects of life in their respective periods, from Emma Harte as a young girl growing up in an English country village; a young woman during World War I and then to more recent times. Again, highly recommended and I will certainly be looking for more of Miss Taylor's books.

I love to watch Barbara Taylor Bradford DVD's and "To Be The Best" happens to be one of my favourites.

Again a very good story and well acted

We enjoyed this dvd very much and watch it over and over again along with the whole series. It is easy to watch, and a good film even without 'knowing what went on before' as a one off. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys an easy-to-watch romance, and a story about a successful woman!

A good story from Barbara Taylor Bradford but characters differed too much from previous A Woman of Substance dvds
