Lovely, layered tale

Like other Catherine Cookson's stories, "The Girl" focuses on a young woman who must overcome emotional and physical obstacles to finally come into the life she deserves. This tale is no different. The performances are excellent, and the costuming and locations equally well done.

A lovely, powerful story.

Catherine Cookson TV movies

I love all Catherine Cookson movies and would appreciate them being shown the movies on dvd wont play in USA we can't afford a 500:00 dollar vcr to play the region code these are made in . I'm trying to let my granddaughter see all her movies she's read the books YouTube use to have them to watch now they aren't playing at all. Please consider a showing of these fantastic programs Catherine Cookson fans are still out there an I can't afford 400:00 dollars for dvds that won't play in this region code

Catherine Cookson Is fabulous

The Girl is one of my favorites but I would gladly watch all of her movies my grandmother introduced me to the Mallen books in 1970 I read all I could then I found them on utube I watched An now we are no longer able to see these great movies.In America we are in a different region code An can't buy them to watch with out purchasing a new DVD player that's expensive to do. So please play her movies we will all be happy if u do ,we love all these the girl is excellent!

Too much badness.

I guess the Catherine Cookson model for historical dramas just do not float my boat. This was somewhat entertaining, but I just don't like all of the sorrow, suffering, and angst in my dramas. Her stories are just dark all the way through. Even when people are happy, there is some fly in the ointment. I do not mind some darkness in my dramas: I loved Little Dorrit, and Middlemarch for example. I love Elizabeth Gaskell stories. Loved Downton Abbey. These are just humorless. And boy there is a ton of them. I think I have seen enough to know I don't want to suffer through anymore of these to find the ones that I do like. I did like The Rag Nymph, and the Glass Virgin back in the day. Not sure why, but they were different in some way while still being the same basic plot. I suspect it was the actors and the characters they played.

Another Catherine Cookson classic

A good story never fades or ages, and that can be said for all of the movie-versions of Catherine Cookson's powerful novels. In spite of this movie being almost 20 years old, the power of its story and the depiction of the mean-hearted, neglectful wealthy and the struggles of the poor in Britain's North East, the hallmark setting of a Catherine Cookson story, remains timeless. Like all the movie-realizations of her novels, we're shown an almost green-and-pleasant England with its fair share of cruelty, nobility, non-starry-eyed romance, and tragedy transforming into personal triumph. All 2+ hours of this story will fly past in almost no time leaving you sorry that you reached the end.
