For some reason certain titles have always struck a chord in me even when I didn’t understand them. For example: As a kid I thought “Mourning Becomes Electra” meant something like “The Sunrise Turns Into a Light Bulb.”.

Thank you for this excellent series, which I missed when it was broadcast.
I’d just seen the 1947 movie, which I found quite impressive, and wanted to enjoy a more complete version of the massive trilogy.

I think this is the only copy available.

Where is the Greek Revival house used as the Mannon home, located?
I loved this series- kudos for costumes by Zach Brown

I was very curious to see this PBS production as I now live in what was depicted as the Mannon House. Thank you so much for making it available.

I’ve been wanting to see this for years. The odd 1947 attempt with Rosalind Russell is earnest and well intended but is ultimately one hot mess. It’s running time was cut exactly in half with each of it’s leads acting in idiosyncratic styles which never truly intersect or mesh. Thanks, Jon.
