Missing Scenes--Not The Complete Series

Loved this mini series when it was on TV many years ago, however, this disc set does NOT include the WHOLE series--only bits and pieces of it. So if you've never seen the original FULL version this might satisfy you. I enjoyed what is on the discs but I was VERY DISSAPOINTED because many of the original important scenes are missing. I will not be keeping it--probably donate it. Read full review...

Compelling drama!

I purchased this DVD because it is my favorite miniseries of all time. Compelling story, wonderful scenery and production values and music that will stay with you forever. Phenominal performances by every actor make this a very enriching, heart-tugging experience. The main reason for my purchase was to have the luminous performance of actor Philip Anglim as Dane, the ill=fated son of Ralph and Meggie. It is very seldom that any actor has the depth or the range to give the audience such a beautiful realization of a mystic, totally engulfed by giving and receiving the love that only God can give us. Although the script was woefully inadequate in explaining how Dane grew up and received the call to the priesthood, Mr. Anglim made each of his scenes count in a finely- crafted and executed performance that will leave you spellbound. The effect of his performance is hypnotic. I would heartily recommend this DVD to anyone who enjoys great drama, and especially those with an interest in the theme of how different souls embrace or reject God's Divine Love.Read full review...

Best Mini Series Ever Made!!!

This is a must see for all the romantics left in the world. The series takes place on a station in Australia’s outback. Breathtaking scenery, forbidden love and powerful characters make this one of the best dramas ever made.Read full review...

Best Miniseries Story Ever

When I opened the DVD pack to multiple discs one of the inside plastic slots to hold the discs was cracked off. Could of happened during Shipping process. DVD otherwise is in good condition but I'm a little disappointed because now the discs won't stay in place in the case with the top slot broken off. Jean MooneyRead full review...

Great except for the unnecessary previews before each part of the series.

Being a huge fan of the mini-series, I can't help but give it a high rating. The only thing I didn't like were the previews that are included before each part of the series in this DVD set. Totally unnecessary, and I think they show way too much.Read full review...

80's classic

Just read the reviews, 10's all over. Men enjoy it & Women love it. Til I bought it for her, my mom hadn't seen this movie in 30+ years and always talked about seeing it again some day.

Wonderful Shocker

This was a great movie in the 80's and still just as thrilling 40 yrs later.
Would recommend highly.
