Of course I am hooked on this show, as are so many others...but I have found some of the episodes to be a bit ridiculous.
However, I find that the UK version makes much more sense. And some of the hokey bits are absent in this version. I won't go into detail since I don't want to spoil things for others, so I'll leave it there.
The series does not accurately reflect the customs and mores of the period, yet I find it satisfying to watch. It just annoys me that they purport to be so accurate to the times, and yet I find it definitely inaccurate. Doesn't the Earl ever go to the House of Lords? He seems never to leave the house! Somehow they are all surprisingly modern, which seems odd since the peerage has usually been the last to succumb to modernity.
Anyhow...I recommend the UK version!

Has anyone really noticed that Joan Crawford sings in this movie??? And she's really pretty good! I have to admit that I like Joan Crawford movies...even the bad ones. But to see her sing!!! You have to hand it to her, she really did work very hard to make herself into Joan Crawford... And she sings in English, French AND German!!! Quite a nice little movie here.... Clark Gable is gorgeous and luscious of course, and there are a bunch of supporting players who really became quite famous back then.
I love old movies!! A good story with interesting characters and beautiful mise-en-scene.
Try it! You'll like it! And it's worth it just to see Joan Crawford sing!

This beautiful movie actually has two versions...one with a different opening. However, we never see that one for some reason.
All other things aside, the loveliest thing in this movie is Hamlet's famous soliloquy delivered by Alan Mowbray who has a bit part as an actor traveling through the west delivering Shakespearean speeches.
This is actually the most affecting, clearly delivered and thoughtful version I have ever heard of this speech, which almost everyone will recognize. Hamlet's dilemma is universal....
One has to wonder what it would have been like if John Ford had directed the actual play "Hamlet". I'm willing to bet it would have been a knockout!
