THE POLITICIAN'S WIFE—DVD—Juliet Stevenson—Trevor Eve—"WICKED"—NY Times

Description: • For Your Consideration: • A SEALED DVD of: • “THE POLITICIAN’S WIFE” (ACORN, 1995) • STARRING: Juliet Stevenson | Trevor Eve | Anton Lesser | Minnie Driver | Frederick Treves • DIRECTED BY: Graham Theakston • ABOUT THIS TITLE: • “When the tabloids catch Conservative family-values politician Duncan Matlock (TREVOR EVE, WAKING THE DEAD) in an affair with an escort (MINNIE DRIVER, GOOD WILL HUNTING), no one is more stunned than his devoted wife, Flora (JULIET STEVENSON, THE HOUR, BEND IT LIKE BECKHAM). Pressured by her husband, the party machinery, and even her father, Flora maintains a loyal façade at first. But in private, her anguish hardens into rage after erotic telephone tapes reveal the extent of Duncan’s duplicity.” ―THE PRODUCER • “One of the best dramas THE MASTERPIECE THEATRE series has ever produced…. Brilliant.” —BOSTON GLOBE • “British television excels at political thrillers, the exquisitely devastating kind…. The latest example is…THE POLITICIAN’S WIFE, starring JULIET STEVENSON as Flora Matlock, wife of philandering Duncan (TREVOR EVE), who just happens to be the Conservative Party's Minister for the Family. Flora is the model political wife, forever recalling for interviewers how she and Duncan met at Cambridge and how she was immediately impressed with his ‘intellect, commitment and moral base.’ Then the story breaks about his affair with a former escort girl, Jennifer Caird (MINNIE DRIVER), and the press descends…[and] party stalwarts gather quickly to contain the damage…. PAULA MILNE, the writer, wonders why wronged political wives stick with their scheming husbands. And at first, Flora does just that. But then Flora begins learning that, far from being over, the affair is still proceeding at a torrid pitch. Anonymously delivered tapes of conversations between Duncan and his paramour are unbearable to listen to. Flora becomes a woman bent on revenge; her ingenious scheme is worthy of a Jacobean playwright. The always impressive MISS STEVENSON takes every twist and turn with elegant aplomb. MR. EVE and the rest of the males, connivers all, are wonderfully slimy. THE POLITICIAN’S WIFE, from Britain’s Channel 4, is splendidly wicked.” —NEW YORK TIMES • “Terrifically entertaining.” —USA TODAY • “Brilliant performance from JULIET STEVENSON in this tale of betrayal and revenge, also amazing work from TREVOR EVE as the errant, conscienceless husband and embryo Prime Minister. JULIET as the wife could have forgiven and forgotten had it not been for the damning evidence given to her that she uses to feed her revenge. And this is revenge of the best kind. Not the clothes cutting, brick throwing revenge of a tempestuous hothead but a calculating scheme that hits the target where it hurts the most. She is aided in this from an unlikely source but also gains the help of others through guile and charm making them unwitting allies in her plan. And you are totally on her side. A triumphant experience!!!” —TAITA, IMDB REVIEW (10/10) • “Top-notch political drama…still timeless after many years…. It’s a must-see for anyone who loves British political dramas.

For books and magazines (and even other items), we use these terms (in order of desirability): VERY FINE or LIKE NEW FINE (or EXCELLENT) NEAR FINE (or NF) VERY GOOD PLUS (or VG+) VERY GOOD (or VG) GOOD FAIR ACCEPTABLE POOR “POOR.” Except in rare cases, for rare items, we tend to avoid selling items that are in utterly “POOR” condition.
