4.0 out of 5 stars An fine emotion driven, psychologically focused mystery., May 29, 1999

This review is from: Unsuitable Job for a Woman [VHS] (VHS Tape)

An Unsuitable Job For A Woman is a dark, subtly erotic duo of mysteries on three video tapes. The private detective, Cordelia Gray, attempts to solve murder cases through the use of typical clues and through the use of the emotional states of the other characters. Cordelia is an imperfect person with a traumatic past. This makes her a very interesting detective. This mystery is a thinking person's adventure. It is for those of you who do not want to have to check your brains in at the box office. I highly recommend AN UNSUITABLE JOB FOR A WOMAN.

1.0 out of 5 stars If the tapes were complete, the rating would be higher, January 5, 2001

I've enjoyed most of PD James' books so I was pleased to buy the PBS video. However, I was very disappointed to watch these tapes. As the previous reviewer wrote, the tapes are incomplete. Do not buy this version. You will only be frustrated. Stick with the books!

I contacted WGBH Boston to inquire about discrepencies in the listed runtime, and was informed that there was a printing error on the VHS jackets that resulted in people thinking this series was meant to be twice as long as it actually was. I hope that helps people make a decision. I remember really enjoying this series when it was first aired on American PBS.
