Editorial Review: Description: DVD Features: Audio Commentary:Commentary on Episodes 1 and 4 by producer Kate Bartlett, director Brian Percival and writer Sandy Welch Biographies:Cast bios Deleted Scenes Interviews:Specially recorded interview with Richard Armitage Production Notes Amazon.com: North & South is a splendid, four-hour adaptation of Elizabeth Gaskell's 19th century novel about an unlikely, and somewhat star-crossed, love between a middle-class young woman from England's cultivated south and an intemperate if misunderstood industrialist in a hardscrabble, northern city. Daniela Denby-Ashe plays Margaret Hale, forthright and strong-willed daughter of a former vicar (Tim Pigott-Smith) who relocates his family from a pastoral village outside London to unforgiving, largely illiterate Milton, a factory town where John Thornton (Richard Armitage) and his mother (Sinead Cusack), survivors of poverty, rule their cotton mill with an iron hand. Thornton befriends Margaret's father but incurs her wrath for his severity with his workers. What she doesn't notice is Thornton's core sense of responsibility for his employees' welfare. On the other hand, he misinterprets some of Margaret's own actions and intentions. Equally stubborn, the two drag out their obvious attraction over many painful months and events. North & South's two leads are both very good, though Armitage's brooding, penetrating performance may very well be considered a classic one day. There are other wonders in the cast: Cusack and Pigott-Smith are superb, and Brendan Coyle is memorable as a firebrand union organizer who ultimately becomes an ally to a softening Thornton. The miniseries script by Sandy Welch is a persuasive mix of historical context and character study. Brian Percival's direction is full of moments that linger in the imagination, such as the winter-dream look of a busy cotton mill, with thousands of snowy fibers floating in the air. --Tom Keogh Average Rating:
 Rating: - Classy production from beginning to end!North and South was a class production from beginning to end. The actors (most of whom I did not know) were excellent and well-cast, especially Richard Armitage and Sinead Cusack. The story was engaging, educational, and well-developed. The scenery and props were wonderful! I rate it a 10 out of 10. Rating: - Unbelievably RomanticThis is so wonderfully romantic. I am a huge P&P fan, but Richard Armitage knocked me right off my Darcy obsession...at least for awhile!!! This is my favorite movie of all time. Bar none. Rating: - North and SouthElizabeth Gaskell who wrote the book in the early 1800s that this movie was created from is an exciting find for fans of Charles Dickens and Jane Austin. She treats all of her characters with humor and compassion, and this movie is a moving adaptation of her work. Beautiful and historically accurate costuming. This movie is a new favorite. Rating: - my new favorite[...]It totally sucked me in and I ended up watching the whole thing! Of course, since youtube isn't exactly the preferred way of viewing films, I had to get the DVD. I'm a total diehard Pride and Prejudice fan (the BBC version, obviously), and I must say that this is a serious rival for my affections. It's a little darker and more somber than P&P, but is equally well-done. The cinematography is beautiful, artistic and effective and really conveyed that period in time, while the score perfectly captures ... Read More Rating: - North & SouthThis is a very moving series. It is very well acted.I do not regret having spent my money on this DVD. Browse for similar items by category:
