Version of The Barretts of Wimpole Street (1957)

'82 barretts of wimpole street

This version of "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" is the most romantic show I've ever seen--it even beats out the '83 version of "Jane Eyre" which is marvelous. I too wish "The Barretts of Wimpole Street" would be put on video or DVD or both; it's too good to not be made available. I saw it years ago on A & E. I don't remember if it was part of A & E's "Family Classics" series, though--it might have just been broadcast and not part of a series. I also saw the '83 version of "Jane Eyre" on A & E. It would be great if A & E or some other station could broadcast "The Barretts of Wimpole Street." Perhaps PBS, although they usually broadcast shows that have been made recently.
