VHS Movie Reviews of Young Catherine
Movie Review: YOUNG CATHERINE
Summary: 5 Stars
As I am currently changing all my VHS tapes over to DVD's I am struggling with some really good "old" mostly historical tapes that I don't think will ever be transferred over to DVD, and this is one of them.....the only copy I had, prior to acquiring this one is an old tape from the actual TV drama itself which has been played so often that it is skipping and missing words. I believe that some individual was selling a DVD that they had made but the review was that the picture quality was lousy, so I won't go there. My personally opinion on this movie is that IT IS THE VERY BEST PORTRAYAL of Catherine the Great of Russia. Unfortunately there was a much more recent remake with Catherine Zeta Jones in the starring role....forget that! Julia Ormond leaves Zeta Jones in the dust when it comes to playing this great role and the line up of well known extremly talented stars who play numerous parts is mind boggling. Some of the story is a best guess because nobody really knew the truth about Catherines' rise to power (which is not unusual in anything coming out of Russia) But the story line is splendid and absolutely everything that is portayed 'could' have happened. Color, costumes, spacious frozen scenery, huge houses and castles will take your breath away. I do not know if I might try to get this transferred over myself because I know that the life of the VCR is limited and sooner or later tapes won't be a viable alternative but, until that is the case I will watch this over and over again. If you can get hold of a copy of this before they are all go PLEASE DO SO, you won't regret it. I hope upon hope that the movie makers will take a second look and bring this out on DVD because it is well worth it as it is so superior to the Zeta Jones version.
