A short blurb from Acorn Media about A Dance To The Music Of Time-The Complete Series: A brilliant adaptation of a literary masterpiece-often compared to the landmark miniseries Brideshead Revisited in scope and impact.
A Dance to the Music of Time is a BAFTA-Award winning British miniseries that has never been shown here in the U.S. Based on the 12-volume literary saga debuted in England in 1997. The miniseries is very much like Brideshead Revisited for the extravagance of it all. The story looks at 50 years of British upper class life from the 1920’s through the 1960’s that follow friendships, Adultery, Ambition and Failure. The miniseries has quite a few notable British Actors and Actresses of stage and screen including John Gielgud, Miranda Richardson, Edward Fox, Zoe Wanamaker, Colin Baker and many more. The miniseries is also uncut with Adult Language and Nudity. This set also includes Cast Filmographies and photo galleries.
