I'd already bought and seen "The Four Feathers" and "Lady Audley's Secret." The first is not bad, the second is excellent. What I really bought this DVD for was the two films I had not yet seen: "The Cater Street Hangman" and "Poldark." If you take the "Cater Street Hangman" as melodrama with a modern socially concious twist, it's a gripping film: Taut, suspenseful, and fairly mystifying till the end (I guessed the killer's identity fairly early on, but many viewers may not). The production values are excellent. "Poldark" is another story, a historical with a very thin connnection to reality, complete with many problems such as the young lady who always rides bareback--even the lower classes used saddles. The worst problem, though, is that this "Poldark" is so very much part of some series not given elsewhere, that not only are most plot lines entirely unresolved, but it ends right in the middle of a scene!
