Editorial Review: Description: Fearless young Sally Lockhart (Billie Piper, Doctor Who) has a mind for numbers and for sleuthing, and in Phillip Pullman’s quartet of novels, set in Victorian London, she is put through the paces of melodrama and mystery. In this vivid adaptation of the first book in the series, recently orphaned Sally Lockhart, armed with a pearl-handled pistol and her keen mind, uncovers the secrets of her father’s death aboard the sunken schooner Lavinia, discovers hidden cursed jewels, and faces England’s deadliest villains with bold courage. Sally’s friends, the street-smart Jim and besotted photographer Frederick, help her expose the truth - no matter how dangerous. Sally navigates through the constantly twisting plots with the savvy dexterity of a sharp-eyed detective. Customer Reviews

 Rating: - Another Spunky Pullman HeroineInterested in this because it was by Philip Pullman, author of The Golden Compass, etc. This is a video based on the 1st of a trilogy of books. Both the story and the production were very good. It has a very sophisticated plot, with many twists and turns. Rating:  - saw part on TV and had to have itwe saw part of this on TV and had to have it. Part of a series based on three books.

Indeed, as a I watched this film, I wondered if it had been written at the time it takes place, the 1870s. With its intrepid but pure young heroine, handsome men always quick to help her, opium dens, Dickensonian children, haggish villainess, and an improbable and labyrinthine plot in which key action is not always depicted, this story has the hallmarks of hacks and cheap Victorian melodrama. Maybe there is a little modernization: I doubt that Victorians would have jumped to hire a teenaged female accountant -because she is a woman, whereas now she ...

Other places list it as just "widescreen" Does anyone have the correct aspect ratio for this release? BTW, excelent movie as far as those masterpiece things go. Much faster pace and not at all boring like others. Rating: - Ruby & SmokeMy wife and I really enjoyed this DVD. The acting is great. The filming is well done too. However, there seemed to be a few disconnects in the story, but we liked it so much overall thst we plan to go back to see what we missed. |
