- Visiting Cornwall's Moor
I found this to be in excellent condition but found it better shown on older, smaller TV monitors than on the digital screen of the new 42 inch slim line. The slim line distorted and darkened the scenes more.Jane Seymour did a captivating portrayal of Mary Yellen with more time to develope the character in a TV series than Maureen O'Hara had in an ealier movie version done in black & white with Charles Laughton. I was especially interested in seeing authoress' Daphne du Maurier's Bodmin Moor brought ... Read More

- Release on DVD, Please!
This min-series is excellent, and by far one of the most original stories made into film.The cast is ideal for their respective roles, and the scenery of the moors is stunning.So it would obviously be worthwhile to create it on DVD.Hopefully the video producers will realize this soon, as more people want DVD format the the fading-away-into-oblivion VHS.
Rating: - Jane Seymour at her best!
This is far better than Hitchcock's version of "Jamaica Inn". Jane Seymour never looked more beautiful than in this compelling, beautifully filmed mini-series. The cast is great, the scenery breathtaking (just like Seymour!), & the combination of suspense & romance make this a winner! I don't know why it's not on dvd yet, but until then I suggest you buy this on vhs. It's that good! Just make sure you get the full version & not the single-tape version which is bad quality (EP).
Rating: - A must have
One of our favourite films. The case of lending it to someone and not getting it returned!
No longer available in PAL format unless you want to pay over the odds on e-bay, we bought this NSTC version, so we can play it on an American friend's video player.
A classic
Rating: - Not Quite Du Maurier . . .But, Good
In this mini-series adaptation of Daphne Du Maurier's novel "Jamaica Inn", Jane Seymour stars as the confused yet ethical Mary Yellan, a young woman who finds herself confronting some unknown evil on the Cornish moors.
I will not critique Du Maurier's story--it is a great Gothic masterpiece which employs tone, description, plot and characterization to near perfection---read the book to enjoy Du Maurier's talent and imagination at its best.
This adaptation follows the novel much ... Read More
