Scarlett [DVD]

Not as good as gone with the Wind
I do not think it was what Margaret Michell would have intended. I have read the Road to Tara and to me that is more like Margaret Michell would have intended, In Gone with the Wind thought they cut bits of the book out It was always stressed about Tara and that is where Scarlett got her strength , also in Gone with the wind Rhett had given Scarlett permission to spend as much as she wanted to restore Tara to its former glory, Tara, In Scarlett, it is still shoddy and run down and Scarlett does not restore it , in fact later on she gives Tara to Suellen her sister and sells everything in Atlanta to move permanently to Ireland.I do not believe after all she went through to keep Tara she would leave it for good

so good
Well Timothy Dalton was wonderful has Rett Butler, but so much of it was not about him but more about Scarlett and her family in Ireland which I liked but what was the chance of them both meeting in Ireland. It was a shame there where no sub-titles for people like me who are deaf, together Timothy Dalton and Joanne Whalley did real well in the lead roles, but you could tell this was not written by the hand of Margret Mitchell but was a good try, the lead actors where good some back ground actors bad, Sean Bean was also good as the rich Lord who was evil and comes to a sticky end only for poor Scarlett accused of his murder and about to be hanged, Rett tying to find the missing girl and real killier, and losing all hope only for Scarlett to reveal another secret she has a child a daughter with Rett that he new nothing about will he turn from her or carry on to save her....watch and find out the second disc was the better as the first disc a little boring, but worth the money and great to watch.

Joanne Whalley deserves more credit she is so underrated...
I personally think Joanne Whalley is an amazing and such underrated actress, I’ve enjoyed many movies and tv shows she has starred in and this being one of them. I think these two roles or Scarlett and Red no matter who played them would have been given a hard time by some of the audience because you can’t compare to the original actors in Gone With The Wind and that would be the same even if at the time Julia Roberts had played the role of Scarlett or even multi award winner Meryl Streep who were massive at the time and still are today . It’s no about acting more like there was only one Vivian Leigh and Clark Gable and no one could live up to their versions of Scarlett and Rhett no matter how big or famous the actors were but I think both Joanne and Tim did amazing jobs for a 90s adaption sequel to the original and I enjoyed it despite the horrible storyline that involved Sean Beans character.

Another Classic - The Follow-Up to Gone With the Wind.
I have always loved Timothy Dalton, ever since I saw him playing an Arab Prince in a TV series of the "1001 Arabian Nights" in the 60s! Those amazing eyes! And in "Scarlett" he was still looking fantastic! I saw this TV series decades ago and have now bought the DVD version. A really worthy successor of "Gone With The Wind"!

Enjoyeable follow up to "Gone With the Wind"
Scarlett carries the story of Scarlett from where Gone with theScarlett carries on the story of "Gone with the Wind" so we find out what becomes of Scarlett. I saw it when it was first broadcast in, I think, the 1990s and enjoyed watching it again now it is on DVD.

Great Scarlett performance
I definitely enjoyed this series and could not stop watching it. The main characters' play is amazing and I even enjoyed it more than Gone with the Wind. Scarlett's transformation into a good and mature lady was amazing.
