I watched this when it was on telly, and it was brilliant. Well deserved award for Kate Winslet. I bought the dvd for my mum as a present as she did not have the channel it was showing on. My mum had seen the orginal film with Joan Crawford and said it was a really good story. It captured the era really well, showing how hard work can pay off and how circumstances can change things sometimes for the best. It had sadness, happiness and drama. A good combination and well worth a look. Excellent acting from all involved. I will be buying this for myself also as I am sure it is one of those dvd's that you can watch over. Fully recommended.
