 DVD wanted please! July 6, 2006

I remember watching this superb series when it first aired on PBS in the USA. It was unforgettable and I've wanted it for my home collection ever since. But of course the PAL system is incompatible for systems in the US. It would be GREAT to have this reproduced in a DVD format. If it could be done for "Upstairs, Downstairs" then why not for "How Green Was My Valley?"
Please get this in DVD to view in the U.S. June 6, 2006

I am basing my review on what has been said by others. Please get this on DVD and in NTSC format. I bought it only to find that it wouldn't play on my VCR.

Great series and very enjoyable but the quality of the video leaves a lotto be desired. The picture breaks up on a fairly regular basis, thishappened on two video players, which is disappointing but the story is sogood one can forgive this little annoyance.

I thoroughly enjoy all five hours of the twinpack PAL video How Green Was My Valley starring Stanley Baker and Sian Phillips. They play the mother and father of the Morgan family in a South Wales mining town. This is based on the classic novel by Richard Llewellyn.The video covers ten years or so in the life of the family and the small town they live in. Besides the family, an important character is the Rev. Gruffydd played by twice nominated BAFTA actor Gareth Thomas. He helps educate young Huw Morgan and is a general family friend. All the acting is superior. Sian Phillips said that this TV production was far superior to the older American movie version which was award winning. This production was originally a 1975-6 UK TV production, but there is nothing dated about it because it is a period piece to begin with. It was originally done as six episodes. In the video it is now divided into two parts, one part per two and a half hour video each. When I first got this video set, I sat down and immediately watched all five hours of it at one sitting. I was totally enchanted. I do have to mention that there is a little static at times on the screen. I don't know if this is because my PAL VCR is not very good, or if there are some flaws in the film because it was not preserved well over the decades before it was released on video. But these are minor flaws and are not important. I really highly recommend this video version of How Green Was My Valley. Anyone who loves good drama should enjoy this.
One of the best TV dramas - ever November 18, 2001

This has to be one of the best dramas ever shown on British television and the years have not dimmed this glowing production.The writing is superb and the actors bring the whole story to life. Sian Phillips and Stanley Baker are wonderful in their roles as the parents of the Morgan family. Mike Gwilym and Sue Jones Davies are but two more of this wonderful cast. The story of the Morgan family oozes good and right as well as the struggle for survival in late 19th century Wales. It is for me one of the best performances by that fine actor Stanley Baker, and, with great sadness, one of his last I believe. As a teenager I marvelled at this drama and in my 40's I still marvel. Five stars is not enough.
