A blurb from Acorn Media about The Good Soldier: Two wealthy, handsome couples-one English, one American-meet at a German spa and forge an immediate bond. Through nine seasons at at the spa, the splendid foursome shares the same tastes, the same desires, and the same elegantly perfect lives. But in a series of startling time and perspective shifts, we learn, little by little, just how far short of perfection their lives really were.
A nice quiet British TV film shown on Masterpiece Theater in 1983. Starring the great late Jeremy Brett just before taking over and becoming one of the best Sherlock Holmes there ever was and Robin Ellis just had done “Curse of King Tut’s Tomb” with Tom Baker and oddly enough John Ratzenberger from “Cheers” fame. A well-done movie dealing with trans-continental friendship and highs and lows in their own relationships in the 1920’s. This disc includes a biography on the author Ford Madox Ford and cast filmographies.
VIDEO
The video quality is great! The episode was done on film. Excellent quality. The movie runs approximately 104 minutes.
Audio
Was originally recorded in Mono. It is also Mono on this set.
Disc 1- 1. “The Good Soldier”-Movie
Extras
Disc 1: Ford Madox Ford Biography- (Text Only)

Verdict
Jeremy Brett’s performance is worth the cost of the disc alone! A nice movie for your Masterpiece Theater Collection.
Rating; ****!
