Reviews

pchdream Noble House based on James Clavells novel was a hit mini series way back in the eighties and it still retains all the magic that made it compulsive viewing then. A first rate plot, the fabulous Hong Kong location, a brilliant production team and a cast headed by Pierce Brosnan and John Rhys- Davies. The newly released Blu Ray version is stunning and adds a new dimension altogether to the hugely impressive visual quality, with its vibrant colours and crystal clear focus. I have waited for years for this to be released on DVD and had almost given up hope it would ever happen. I believe that it would attract a whole new generation of fans if re-released and I strongly recommend it.

petri-ellmen It would really be about time to get the mini-series out. We ourselves still have an old VHS version which is starting to break. One would have supposed that simply Brosnans career as Bond would have brought out most of his old "filmography".I wonder how many of us there are who would sacrifice some of over earthly belongings and hard owned mammon in order to get a DVD version of Nobel House. I presume we should be numerous enough to form a market. I wonder who is making choices about the release now? I did previously follow some link, which eventually gave a possibility to show ones interest in the movie in order for it to be released, but that was some years ago and nothing has still happened. Odd.

evpar2 I have watched this movie several times on VHS. But, I want to have it in the DVD mode. I cannot find the DVD version in the United States. It is available in Australia, shipped to the USA, BUT, they have a RED flag, saying that it can not be viewed, or played with Canada, or USA sold DVD players. Can you help me here, or, at least point me to someone that can enlighten me as to why the USA, does not have it available in the DVD Format. I appreciate any help that you may offer. I have spoken to several other viewers of this movie and they would also like the DVD version. The problem is, we do not know where to go, or whom to contact. I feel that this e-mail, is an excellent review on this Movie. I like to view such excellent movies again and again.Perry Paradise

Jim Horlan The novel of Noble House is one of the most detailed and riveting books you could ever want to read......which is a problem when you want to distill a 1000+ page novel into a movie or mini-series. These guys pulled it off though, using a very truncated version of the story.......and while this was made before War and Remembrance killed off the epic network mini-series, it was probably too expensive to make it much longer.The cast is letter perfect though, especially if you're a fan of the books. Once you see them on screen you can't imagine anyone else in these roles, even if you re-read the books after viewing the series. Pierce Brosnan, by and large one of the few recognizable names to most American viewers, just inhales Ian Dunross, and John Rhys-Davies (who is now much more famous than he was then) is one of the great villains of all time as Quillan Gornt. Deborah Raffin and Ben Masters, who play the Americans Casey Tcholak and Linc Bartlett, are names I wasn't familiar with, but they give such true performances that I'm disappointed that they didn't get more of a bounce off of this. The other supporting parts were done very well, and added to the atmosphere.The only thing that I don't like about the mini-series is that its not out on DVD yet, even with Pierce being so much more famous now than then. It'll come though, and I'll be first in line when it does.Oh yeah, it's worth noting that in a way the mini-series on network TV has come back, they just call them regular series such as 24 and Lost.
