5.0 out of 5 starsLong-Overdue Release of Classic TV Miniseries
By E. Hornaday on January 21, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Noble House is an eight-hour Classic TV Miniseries produced and broadcast in 1988 by NBC. Based on the fantastic and richly detailed novel of the same name by James Clavell, it features a large cast headlined by Pierce Brosnan, who portrays business tycoon Ian Dunross.

This was NBC's second Classic TV Miniseries adaptation of a Clavell novel, the first was 1980s Shogun. Both take place in the same fictional universe, Noble House even featuring connections to Shogun and yet another Clavell novel, Tai-Pan.

For this miniseries, the timeframe of the original novel was changed from the early 1960s to the 1980s.

Other actors include Denholm Elliott, Deborah Raffin, Tia Carrere, John Houseman, Julia Nickson-Soul, and John Rhys-Davies (who also appeared in Shogun.)

Noble House centers around big-business piracy in Hong Kong. The miniseries opens with Brosnan driving through the rain to meet Denholm Elliott, who plays the outgoing "tai-pan" in Hong Kong's oldest and leading trading firm: Struan & Company.

"Tai-pan," a Cantonese expression, means "supreme leader," and at Struan & Company the title has been passed down at least 150 years

Dunross' arch rival and enemy, Quillan Gornt (Rhys-Davles), is tai-pan of the second leading trading company. Not only does Gornt wants to destroy Dunross and take over Noble House, the two men have racing horses that compete against each other as well.

Meanwhile, two American tycoons (Raffin and Ben Masters) have come to Hong Kong to make a financial deal with Dunross.

But in Clavell's Hong Kong there is no such thing as a single deal. Double-dealing and triple-crossing are more the style of the international wheeler-dealers here.Read more ›

3.0 out of 5 starsGreat Miniseries, Disappointing DVD
By Janna K. Henrichsen on March 27, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
Why do the DVD producers cut favorite scenes out of classic miniseries? This has been a family favorite since it first aired on television, and we have been waiting to purchase it on DVD for years! We would gladly have paid more to have the COMPLETE miniseries. Instead, the DVD producers decided to arbitrarily cut several favorite scenes out of the 2 disc set. The horse race, the trip to China to visit his friend in the China bank... these and several others are gone. I am torn between wanting to return the DVD in protest and promising the production company I will buy it again and pay more if they would only release the original, perfectly wonderful, miniseries. What I won't be doing is buying additional copies of this DVD for friends and family who have long wanted to see it again. They don't deserve such disappointment.

4.0 out of 5 starsExcellent entertainment--class and ancient feuds
By Roger J. Buffington TOP 500 REVIEWERVINE VOICE on March 29, 2008
Format: DVD Verified Purchase
The "Noble House" miniseries is a very cool adaptation of the James Clavell novel of the same name. The novel is complex and convoluted, and this miniseries actually does a stellar job of telling essentially the same story as the novel in a more linear fashion, which is essential to the miniseries medium.

Pierce Brosnan, head of the Struan Clan and Tai-Pan of the Noble House, sets the standard for being suave and sophisticated--his portrayal of the Tai-Pan in my opinion is absolutely perfect. John Rhys-Davies as Gornt, the descendant of Brock, the Struan Clan's ancient enemy, crude and barbaric but also sophisticated, makes a perfect contrast with the elegant Brosnan. They seem like born adversaries. (We all remember Davies as the Portuguese navigator in Shogun.)

This is a captivating miniseries. Set in Hong Kong, it is the story of a Clan feud between two powerful British shipping firms there, both of which have been based in Hong Kong since its founding as a British Crown colony. In fact, "Noble House" is the sequel to "Tai-Pan" which is the story of the founding of Hong Kong and of the Noble House. The whole story is great fun, sort of a "Dallas" in a Hong Kong setting (this is not a put-down--I loved Dallas!) The film manages to make the combat of high finance easy to follow and understand, and this is a fascinating story.

The DVD is well-mastered, and I particularly like the soundtrack of this one. Highly recommended.

I purchased this movie with the expectation that it was the complete film. Instead it comprises only three of the four parts. Buyer beware!

5.0 out of 5 starsBest TV Mini Series ever Produced
By Carole Broskoskie on May 23, 2003
Noble House is an outstanding story about big business, Hong Kong
and politics laced with intrigue and romance.
Ian Dunross, played by Pierce Brosnan, is the powerful leader of the history laden Noble House. His performance is nothing less than spectacular as it weaves through one exciting plot after another.
This story is so riveting that you'll watch it again and again.
I enjoy it so much that my VHS copy is no longer any good. I sincerely hope it is reprduced on DVD very soon.

5.0 out of 5 starsgreatest tv series
By A Customer on July 3, 2003
I viewed this while living in Sydney and was glued all the way through. To me this is when Pierce Brosnan came to light as a really great actor. The storyline is very gripping. It's a must if you can get a hold of the DVD to see it from start to finish.

5.0 out of 5 starsONE OF THE GREATEST MINI SERIES ON TV
By J. McCabe on August 13, 2004
I am surprised this has not been release on DVD - It was such a successful and inspiring series - I hope it is released soon on DVD - It is released on an Australian DVD - but cannot be played except on a multi-region DVD player.
