THE ANTHONY TROLLOPE COLLECTION contains three masterpieces and over 15 hours of timeless film from one of the greatest nineteenth-century novelists. Visit the fascinating world of Victorian England through the eyes of Anthony Trollope, as the prolific and respected novelist illustrates the penetrating conflicts of the day.
THE BARCHESTER CHRONICLES The community of Barchester is shaken from its cozy complacency when a newspaper's crusade against the Church of England's practice of self-enrichment misfires. Overnight, Rev. Harding (Donald Pleasence - The Great Escape) becomes a pawn in a battle between his younger daughter's beau, John Bold, and his older daughter's husband, Archdeacon Grantly (Nigel Hawthorne - The Madness of King George). Little do they realize that the worst is yet to come, until a regime change delivers Barchester into the hands of a most unholy trinity: the weak-willed Bishop Proudie; the domineering Mrs. Proudie; and the insufferable Rev Obadiah Slope (Alan Rickman - Harry Potter).
THE WAY WE LIVE NOW This satire of Victorian society contains all the dynamic elements that made Anthony Trollope one of the most celebrated and popular novelists of his day - the trials and tribulations of young love, the pettiness of the upper class life, the raw energy and excitement of the most powerful city the world had ever seen. At the center of it all is Augustus Melmotte (David Suchet), a city financier, who embodies the greed and corruption that lay just below the city's glittering surface. The Way We Live Now captures the turmoil as the old is swept aside by the brash new forces of business and finance.
HE KNEW HE WAS RIGHT A flirtatious vicar, two squabbling sisters, an ingénue and her meddling aunt...these are the friends and relations who surround Louis and Emily Trevalyan in the first blissful year of married life. But things take a darker turn when the roguish Colonel Osborne (Bill Nighy) takes an interest in Emily, and, flattered by the resulting gossip, fans the flames of Louis's jealousy. In an atmosphere thick with romance and rumor, Louis finds it all too easy to accuse his wife and force her from the house along with their young son. Obsessed with the imagined seduction, he descends into darkness, determined to destroy everything he loves.
