I could watch this series again and again and again. And every time I do I find another inflection, another moment of beautiful sensitivity and intellectual delight. Thank you for taking the time to get it on youtube. A sheer pleasure!
exquisite. I feel drugged by the lapping water, the gentle flute, the sun, the view, the high rooms, the vibrant voices and their romance. I didn't perceive it so clearly the other times I saw this.
I just read "Mad World" and found out that Marchmain is based on Lord Beauchamp, Hugh Lygon's father who was effectively exiled from England after it was made public that he had been having affairs with his male servants (especially the butler Bradford).
What "Hopkins" are you referring to? I thought you must be referring to the 2008 theatrical film, which I have not seen, but I can't find a Hopkins playing Lord Marchmain, or anyone else, in the movie.
Cara was supposed to be plain & matronly. So, miscast, and that’s what makes sense if the comment that Charles scandalous ideas were disappointed by her appearance
Marysue, you misconstrue .... The prior poster is comparing the quality of the portrayals of Anthony Hopkins with those of Laurence Olivier, in the later days of their respective careers.
Lovely. Brilliant.. Beautiful...This is an absolute pleasure to watch.

Oh my God Larry Olivier. Be still my heart!
Simplemente sublime, maravilloso, imposible de mejorar.
Both of them a great- L.Olivie and John Gilgud
Yes, he made a special appearance. It says so in the titles at the beginning.

Funny scene with Lord Marchmain, trying to size up what's going on between Charles and his son...
Anthony Andrews was for me one of the finest actors ever
*OLIVIER*!!!!!
Is that Laurence Oliver

Charles travels a long way to Catholicism, though I think an explicit conversion is not mentioned.
Olivier ;-)
@ 8:25 still true today, unfortunately.

Ladies and Gentlemen: Laurence Olivier.
The Roth fathers a great- L.Olivie and J.Gilegod
