{"product_id":"lorna-doone-dvd-1","title":"Lorna Doone [DVD]","description":"Amazon.com\n\nStar-crossed lovers, feuding family, royal plots, noble destinies, and salt-of-the-earth heroes. No wonder R.D. Blackmore's romantic classic has been a perennial favorite. Amelia Warner (Michael Caine's innocent child bride in Quills) is Lorna, the beautiful young brunette \"queen\" of the feral Doone clan in this latest adaptation, a handsome 2.5-hour co-production between the BBC and A\u0026amp;E. The once noble line now lives out of a swamp fortress and preys off the local farmers and tradesmen, but the family patriarch (Peter Vaughan) has hatched a plot to win back his title and his land. Handsome John Ridd (Richard Coyle) swears vengeance against the Doones when they murder his father, but he falls for Lorna, and the rakish, ruthless Doone scion (Aiden Gillen, who swaggers through the drama with a perpetual sneer) refuses to give up his claim on the girl without a fight.\nThis is the kind of British romantic adventure that decries the tradition of nobility and privilege while rewarding its heroes with those very privileges, all within a grand framework of melodramatic twists, thrilling battles, and chivalrous heroics. Director Mike Barker creates an appropriately larger-than-life world at once pastoral and savage for his little epic--shot in the verdant British countryside, where a lush forest green permeates every outdoor scene, while the dusky interiors glow with candlelight--giving in completely to the sweeping emotional melodrama at the core of the story. --Sean Axmaker\u003cbr\u003eASIN: B00005B1VM\u003cbr\u003eVSKU: DBV.B00005B1VM.G\u003cbr\u003eCondition: Good\u003cbr\u003eAuthor\/Artist:Martin Clunes|Richard Coyle|Aidan Gillen|Amelia Warner|Anthony Calf|Barbara Flynn|Martin Jarvis|Michael Kitchen|Anton Lesser|Jack Shepherd|Jesse Spencer|Peter Vaughan|Mike Barker|Adrian Hodges|R.D.
