I have wanted to get a copy of this set from the time I saw it on TV. I think it is an excellent series and I will enjoy it many times over. This timr I will be able to watch it from the begining to the end. I am also pleased with the part after the war, this I did not expect. I will look forward to purchasing other DVD's frpm you.

This movie was great in the 80s, and it was just as good as I remembered. An impressive undertaking and enjoyable to watch. One thing to watch - both sides of the discs have content. So don't watch disc 2 until you have seen both sides of disc 1.
