The Catherine Cookson Collection (The Dwelling Place / The Gambling Man / The Glass Virgin / The Man Who Cried) [DVD]

I am a great fan of Cookson's books that have been made into movies. With this purchase I now have threecollections of her works!!!

I've seen all the movies in this set except for the man who cried, I haven't gotten to watch that one yet. I started watching Catherine Cookson films as a teenager because my grandma watched them all the time. I fell in love with them. As depressing as her films can be (it seems there is always a tragedy in her films) the ending is always good. In this set the Gambling Man is my favorite, I suggest you watch it first. I also own set 1. Set 1 has The Wingless Bird, The Fifteen Streets, The Moth, and the Rag Nymph. Also a wonderful set to add to your collection. I bought The Girl separately. There are two more movies that I bought that are sold as a set and they are The Black Velvet Gown and The Black Candle. Both of those movies are wonderful, especially the Black Velvet Gown. It is a wonderful love story.These films are great on DVD, the picture is nice and clear and the sound is really good. A good buy!

Catherine Cookson has some really good books. I have to say I like the movies better than the books as they are a little hard to get through at times...at least for me. I really liked The Glass Virgin and The Dwelling Place.The Glass Virgin is about a young girl that grows up believing she is the daughter of her parents. When the truth comes out her life changes dramatically. She goes through much hardship with a special friend. The Dwelling Place is again about hardship and making choices. The young girl is raped. Other reviewers have stated the unlikelyhood of her marrying the rapist. I have to disagree to some degree because it was a different time and place then. There are historical accounts of women doing just that and living their lives out together.

The films are true to Catherine Cookson's stories. Beautiful photography and excellent casts. Very happy with purchase.

this was a great set of family movies and will watch them againand againwhen needing a pick me up I get Castherine Cookson's movies out!The one where the girl and her siblings live in the cave, The Dwelling Place, and The Man who Cried with Cirian Hinds,as The Gambling Man with Robson green, As well as the Glass Virgin. All really good movies of that period in timeI wish we could get the Round Tower but it is only in Region 2 disk.So shop aamazon and buy them either in VHS or DVD settingsexcellent actors and good family storiesAll of Catherine Cookson's movies are well written and acted onI had seen it so bought i, As I did all of her moviestchfancier"fancier of fine movies"

Excellent movie love it

Have seen almost all of Catherine Cookson's stories via Netflix..and have enjoyed them so much that I wanted to buy for my collection. As with stories that Charles Dickens wrote, her works deal with the reality of what life was like during that time period. Would recommend them to anyone.

JUST AS DESCRIBED. I AM VERY SATISFIED WITH THIS SELLER AND THE PRODUCT.

I enjoyed both movies but liked the dwelling place the best. the gambling man was a little difficult to follow.

This CD collection is a must have addition for any Catherine Cookson reader. After reading the book, watching the movie provides the visual details to allow the reader to enhance the story with greater debth.
