DVD Reviews of Foyle's War - Set 3
DVD Review: Gives a real feeling of WWII
Summary: 5 Stars
This is an excellent production. I'm just sorry the series has ended. I'm sure it was probably because of the expense with all of the WW II equipment and making sure there was nothing modern in the scenes.DVD Review: As the War grinds on Foyle tends to Security at home
Summary: 5 Stars
Detective Christopher Foyle becomes involved in suspicious deaths dealing with the war effort as in "The French Drop" where Foyle shows his tenacity in coming to the truth even if it means stepping on other agencies toes.
In "Enemy Fire" we can see the results of broken men who were the true heroes in the Battle of Britain. In "They Fought In The Fields" the Germans come to Hastings in a most unusual way.
The last episode "A War of Nerves" show that life in jolly old England during the war was a time of greed and it could be hazardous to one's health.
The well mannered and well dressed Detective Chief Superintendent Foyle along with his team of Detective Sergeant Milner and his driver Samatha Stewart look rather mundane and innocent. Don't let that veneer fool you. In reality they all have that bulldog tenacity of finding the truth. Again all the props and the showing of the correct time period was done very well. Five Stars!! Riight.
DVD Review: Best Damn Stuff
Summary: 5 Stars
You want every word and camera movement to mean something and wrapped up at the end of the mystery? This is it. You want authenticity in costuming and staging? This is it. You want perfect characters portrayed by perfect actors? This is it. Want to fall in love with a girl named Honeysuckle? This is the one.DVD Review: The best of British TV series
Summary: 5 Stars
After I saw the first episode of season one, I knew I wanted the entire set and I now have all 5 seasons of the Foyle's War series on DVD. We have always enjoyed British TV mysteries and have found Foyle's War to be the very best of this genre. You get to know the characters, the location and the WWII era in Hastings, England and can hardly wait to pop in a DVD and visit there to see what is happening next. The stories and characters are just great! The only downside is that there are only 5 seasons of the show. I wish there was more of the series, but as they say, "All good things must come to an end." I highly recommend this series.DVD Review: WWII
Summary: 4 Stars
We enjoyed the series and have bought all 5 sets. The only reason I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 is that there are holes in the story I think because they have made them all 100 minutes. I think they cut too much to get to the 100 and it hurts the story.
Description of Foyle's War - Set 3
Studio: Acorn Media Release Date: 11/01/2005Foyle's War: Set 3, another great suite of mysteries largely written by series creator Anthony Horowitz, finds Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (Michael Kitchen) presented with his best opportunity to do what he has wanted to do since the outbreak of World War II: take a hiatus from sleuthing to join Britain's intelligence campaign against the Nazis. But there's a problem, as Foyle learns in Set 3's first mystery, "The French Drop." The circumspect detective investigates the suspicious death of a young operative whose father, a highly placed intelligence officer, objects to Foyle rooting around top-secret projects. "The French Drop" is particularly fascinating for Foyle's dangerous visit to a government operation that trains agents to employ assassination and dirty tricks in their work. Meanwhile, Foyle's right-hand man, Sgt. Milner (Anthony Howell), looks into an elaborate deception designed to throw Foyle and company off the case.
"Enemy Fire" is also a fine story, featuring Foyle's heroic son, Andrew (Julian Ovenden), a Spitfire pilot for the RAF and a man about to crack from combat stress. Andrew's problems are set against the possible murder of a despicable man whose carelessness as a mechanic caused the severe burning of another pilot. "Enemy Fire" also outs Andrew's romance with Sam Stewart (Honeysuckle Weeks), Foyle's straight-arrow driver, to the unsuspecting Foyle himself. "They Fought in the Fields" marries several phenomena about Britain's wartime experience--among them the capturing of German pilots on English ground and the hard work of "land girls" (women put to work on farms)--in a thriller about the death of a farmer. A nice bonus: longtime widower Foyle grows interested in a woman who appears, despite a seemingly low opinion of men, interested in him. Finally, "A War of Nerves" deals with the hard work of "sappers," soldiers who defuse unexploded German bombs, and the sad reality of black marketeers who steal supplies badly needed for the war effort. Foyle also looks into, against his wishes and principles, the work of a socialist activist who makes a compelling case that the war is suppressing workers' rights. As with previous sets, this one is superb in its depiction of little-known facts about World War II's effects on civilian life in Britain. Michael Kitchen, heading a superb cast, continues to make Foyle one of the most interesting English detectives of all time, a figure of unimpeachable integrity. --Tom Keogh
