These are movies with multiple camera angles and lush sets. The people speak with ordinary voices, not like those in a stage production.
There are twelve separate programs on the six DVDs. I am giving the five star because two of them are first rate, Pygmalion and The Millionairess. They stand the test of time unlike many other of his plays that satirize situations of 100+ years ago and no longer exist today. The others are from so-so to terrible. Shaw gets poorer as his story goes back in time and to other countries.

I love Shaw's plays, but with a few exceptions they don't translate well to the screen. If you're interested in Shaw's ideas and the plays themselves, then you will be quite pleased. If you are looking for a greater sense of place and reality, as most people do with today's movies, you might feel something lacking.

I've tried repeatedly to watch even one of these stories all the way through but just can't get past about half way into them ( and I tried 6) These stories are very effective as stage productions and I've enjoyed them as such but as short films, they are just plain boring and ultra talky. Sorry, not my cup of tea!

Unless you are a Bernard Shaw fanatic I wouldn't bother. These are mainly BBC 1970's 'Play of The Month" TV Shows. Low cost theater style productions which works with Dickens and George Eliot but not for BS. I haven't been able to watch any play all the way through.
