Why I like it,

This review is from: Michael Palin: Hemingway Adventure / Great Railway Journeys (DVD)
I watched and taped this program when it originally aired in the early 1980s. As a fan of trains (and all rail transport), I literally wore out the VHS tape from overuse! I realized that what was most appealling was not only the great cinematography and witty presentation by Michael Palin but the beautiful and haunting music by Ian Lynn. He masterfully matches the music to the movement of trains and landscape scenery.

Hemmingway/Great Railway Adventures,

This review is from: Michael Palin: Hemingway Adventure / Great Railway Journeys (DVD)
Interesting semi-biography on Hemmingway; an up-close view of places where he wrote and what he wrote about. Lots of laughs in between.
Older (25 years ago?) look at Ireland and great treat for train buffs.

Not bad, but not Palin's best,
By DougP (San Jose, USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Michael Palin: Hemingway Adventure / Great Railway Journeys (DVD)
Hemingway Adventure: Quite different from the other Palin series I've seen (80 Days, Full Circle, Himalaya). Less of the point-to-point urgency in this one, and as a result it's more relaxed; and he goofs around more. There's some pretty funny stuff here. I just got through reading Hemingway's "Sun Also Rises" so it was good timing and interesting to see some of the sights and so forth. Overall pretty good, but some parts I found rather dull. Much prefer Full Circle and some of the others.
Great Railway Journeys: Mostly this is for train fiends. I watched a bit of it but then bailed.
