Synopsis

Based on the novel by Mary Wesley, THE CAMOMILE LAWN is set in Cornwall in August 1939, the eve of the Second World War.This series opens at a summer gathering of the sprawling Cuthbertson family in the idyllic countryside, a reunion darkened by the gathering clouds of WWII. At turns dramatic, gossipy, comedic, and tragic, the series follows the young Cuthbertson cousins as their lives are torn asunder by the traumas of the war and also by their sexual experiences.

5.0 out of 5 stars Honorary Auvergnat, 6 Oct 2008
By Honorary Auvergnat (central France) - See all my reviews
I enjoyed this DVD of Mary Wesley's Camomile Lawn very much more than the book, presumably greatly to the credit of its Director Peter Hall but also to the strong cast. All are good but of particular note are Felicity Kendall who gives a tremendous performance, the eye-pleasing Jennifer Ehle whether clothed or not, her sensible counterpart Tara Fitzgerald, similarly eye-pleasing but in a quieter way, and Rebecca Hall as the juvenile star. And of course there is the coast of Cornwall - contrasting with scenes of London in the blitz with a memorable scene of Tara and Rebecca on the phone to Cornwall from under a table while near-hit bombs (and the ceiling) were falling. Its the sort of film that lives with you for days after the viewing and which you want to go back to and relish.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb TV adaptation of Mary Wesley's most famous work, 18 Mar 2009
By A. L. Oliver "Alli Oli" (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I thoroughly enjoyed this adaptation and it stays faithful to the book. Only towards the end do you find a few omissions or minor changes, however nothing instrumental to the plot. The acting is excellent and the scenery superb. The house in Cornwall is now run as a Bed And Breakfast, what a treat for any fan. My only disapointment with the 2008 DVD edition is that after 16 years from its original broadcast it would have been wonderful if it had been digitally remastered as this would have sharpened up an at times grainy appearance. However I still rate it 5 stars as this has no bearing on the overall quality of the production.

1.0 out of 5 stars Posh tosh - I must be missing something.
The Camomile Lawn has to be one of the worst DVDs I've ever watched. And I was really surprised and disappointed that this was the case. Read more
