Deemed nouveau riche and shunned by elitist New York society sisters Nan and Virginia St. George along with their friends Lizzy Elmsworth and Conchita Closson (Academy Award winner Mira Sorvino) try their luck in London. The girls' New World spontaneity and impertinence constitute nothing less than a social invasion of Old World society and they soon find themselves courted by a coterie of fascinated admirers. But as the old and new worlds come to clash something has to give.Running Time: 300 min.Format: DVD MOVIE Genre:Â DRAMA UPC:Â 794051249425 Manufacturer No:Â E2494

Summary: My FAVORITE!
Comment: I have watched this movie countless times since it was released on video. It remains my all-time favorite and I now own it on DVD as well. A great addition to the library of any lover of period costume drama. I only wish it was longer.

Summary: Don't Bother...read the book if you really want to enjoy the "Buccaneers"!
Comment: I had high hopes for this DVD. I should have thought twice about it. Even though the price is right the movie is very low quality. The acting is very poor. Where did they find these people??? Oh yeah...that's right where did they find them...except for a few I have never seen any of them before or since! The actress who played the mother of the lead was a nightmare! Really except for Mira Sorvino and Greg Wise the rest were B-actors at best, and you hardly see them in the stupid production!
I think the problem was that it was low budgeted and hastily made. It sure seemed so to me. For a BBC production I sure would have expected much better.
Rent, borrow or just read the book! Don't buy this one, you won't watch it a 2nd time!

Summary: Unexpected!!
Comment: I was expecting something like "Wives and Daughters" (I think this was not smart buy for me), but The Buccaneers was very interesting and different story. I even watched it with my husband and he liked it too. If you like love story with unexpected consequences and many social realities you may like this movie.
Customer Rating:
Summary: The Buccaneers lacks substance
Comment: I was disappointed in "The Buccanners." I expected a higher quality production. Because I have not read the book I cannot vouch for accuracy of plot. I found the series hard to watch and finish. The story makes the American rich look empty and shallow. Not to the quality of a Master Piece Theater Production. I wish the USA had something to compare to the BBC productions.

Summary: The Buccaneers
Comment: I found this mini series to be boring. I didn't finish all of it because it was torture.
