DVD Review: Romance Classics Collections 1 and 2
December 26th, 2007The Romance Classics Collection is an essential library of literature on film.
I am a complete sucker for classic English novels and for British film and television. The A&E Romance Classics Collections 1 and 2 are a hearty feast indeed for such as me — a veritable treasure trove of (mostly) English fiction put on screen, beautifully shot, well acted (familiar and well-respected names headline each adaptation), and…
