Product: Inspector Morse [VHS] (1988)
Rating: 5.0
The last Inspector Morse film, presented in digital quality
The final episode of the long-running (33 in all) British ITV series shown on PBS ("Mystery!") and A&E ("Mysteries") in the U.S. based on the works by Colin Dexter. Included on this DVD (region 1; suitable for allN. American DVD players) is the last episode, "The Remorseful Day," adapted for the screen from the novel of the same name; as well as a documentary aptly titled "The Last Morse," which features interviews by, among others, John Thaw ("Morse"); Kevin Whately ("Lewis"); and the creator of Inspector Morse, Colin Dexter, OBE. Although the DVD itself doesn't have any extra features, unless you count chapter search, the picture and sound are of amazing quality - as opposed to the more primitive analog VHS format. Just a bit of trivia: there is one thing whoever did the credits on the back of the DVD case got wrong (as have many others, presumably): the director of 2 Morse films Danny Boyle ("The Beach" and "Trainspotting") is not the same person as the script writer of 5 Morse films Daniel Boyle, whom they miscredit for the 2 aforementioned works on the back of the case. Be warned, you may need to have a tissue on hand during the end of this episode. Television of this quality (in all facets) comes along very rarely. "Good-bye, sir."
