Brand New & Factory Sealed. Region 2 PAL (UK & Europe). IMPORTANT: This is the official Czech release. The front cover is exactly as pictured and the back cover has Czech text. The film itself has optional Czech sound & subtitles on/off. ORIGINAL ENGLISH SOUNDTRACK - GUARANTEED > > > > > Currently ranked as the most expensive production in the history of Australian television, "The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant" is indeed a vast, sweeping tale decorated with lavish production design and a truly authentic feel for the late 18th century. The two-part film stars the impossibly beautiful Romola Garai as Mary Bryant, a poverty-stricken commoner who turns to highway robbery to provide for her meals. Those familiar with this real-life heroine know her legend: she is arrested and sent on the first ship headed out to the new penal colony in Botany Bay, New South Wales; along the way she gives birth to a daughter and falls in love with a roguish prisoner. Later, after years of penal servitude, she plans a daring escape by stealing an officer's boat and attempting to start a new life on a remote island... "The Incredible Journey of Mary Bryant" is a deeply emotional true story about one woman's fight to survive the harshest of realities and ultimately emerge triumphant...

4.0 out of 5 stars Great drama! 22 April 2006
Format:DVD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I liked this drama so much when I saw it on ITV that I bought the dvd straight away. Mary Bryant's amazing story is little known here and this production, if not perhaps, always completely true to events is a really good place to start to find out more and it's also a very good drama. Romola Garai (I Capture the Castle) plays Cornish girl Mary Broad, who is sentenced to transportation after stealing a bonnet and money.

It's gripping stuff and even more amazing that it actually happened. Romola Garai is brilliant as the strong, remarkable, Mary Bryant. Well worth watching (although I should warn you that this is NOT an historically accurate portrayal of the events)

5.0 out of 5 stars definitely one for the romantics! 1 May 2006
By Laura
Format:DVD
I found this series really gripping from start to finish, and thoroughly enjoyed it mostly because I'm a big romantic and I absolutely loved Will Bryant ("They said we'd never see the sun down here, but there you are")!! The acting was terrific, there's a great 'girl power' theme going on, and there were some truly emotional scenes that moved me to tears! It's not all romance and tears though, there's a fair bit of action going on, what with Mary's escape from the island and her being on the run! I would definitely recommend it to anyone who likes a bit of romance and adventure.

5.0 out of 5 stars A good DVD with some interesting History. 16 April 2009
Format:DVD
This is a good DVD interesting tale of Life as convicts sent to the other side of the world. Everything in this film, Brutality, Love, Jealousy, the lot. Loved It.! And perhaps I'm biased as my favourite (Alex O'Loughlan) stars in this.
