Featured review
Does anyone know why this production was never put onto VHS or DVD? I contacted PBS BBC and no seemed to know about what happened to this series.
I can't remember if it was a Masterpiece Theatre presentation, but it did inspire me to read a good chunk of Zola's work. The black and white movie doesn't come close to this excellent production. I'm hoping someone can explain why it was never shown on TV after the 1970's and why it was never issued for home viewing. It would be a sad to find out that it's sitting in some vault waiting for some copyright issue to be settled.
