5.0 out of 5 stars Clarissa, 24 May 2003
By Sheila Potter (Liverpool United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I saw this fine picture when it was released on the BBC in 1991 and have just recently purchased the DVD. I had forgotten how fine the acting was by Sean Bean and Sacha Wickman, the two main characters of Clarissa and Richard Lovelace. In fact the whole production and cast were excellent and should be shown again on television just to emphasise the quality of actors and actress we have in Britain.

5.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling Bean, 12 Jun 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Clarissa [VHS] [1991] (VHS Tape)
The authenticity of this series was stunning; the care and attention not only to sets and costume but also mannerisms and language. But most of all anyone who saw the series on TVremembers Sean Bean. He positively sets the TV set on fire as the ultimate cad, Lovelace. A great girls' night in special.

5.0 out of 5 stars Superb performance, 15 Jun 2004
By A Customer
Ten years after the first viewing of Clarissa on TV I finally managed to buy this DVD and it still fascinates me. The scenery is magical, the performance of Saskia Wickham and Sean Bean beyond reproach. The whole cast is magnificent. This is a must see for every lover of costume productions. Clarissa's struggle to remain pure and to convert adulterous Lovelace is all inspiring, Lovelace's fight to subdue her on one hand and to stay (unsucessfully) unaffected by his growing feelings for her on the other makes your knees week. Absolutely delicious work.
