Redwarmin This movie is the proof that the world is becoming a sick and dumb place

SunnyHello Nice effects though.

Noutions Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

Maleeha Vincent It's funny, it's tense, it features two great performances from two actors and the director expertly creates a web of odd tension where you actually don't know what is happening for the majority of the run time.

SimonJack "The Inheritance" is a fine CBS production of a lesser known novel by Louisa May Alcott. This New England setting has very good scenery and camera work for a TV movie. The cast all are very good. The Hamilton family, headed by Tom Conti as Henry and Meredith Baxter as Beatrice, are early contrarians to the rising blue bloods of the early landed class in Massachusetts.Yet, the heroin, Cari Shayne playing Edith Adelon, is the focal point around whom the story develops. And, it's interesting to me that for all her kindness and goodness, our heroin is shown by the author to suffer from pride. It becomes apparent when, out of false humility Edith tries to burn the documents that identify her as a blood member of the Hamilton clan. Learning of her true identity from Henry on his deathbed, she then intends to conceal it from the rest of the family whom she will continue to live with to help after the death of the patriarch. This struck me as a sort of enforced martyrdom at not wanting to tout her credentials as landed gentry. Where, as heir of the family holdings she would be in more of a position to ensure the family's continued well- being and care. Whether Alcott intended the character to be thus understood, I cannot say. But she was an intelligent and clever person, and an accomplished writer who grew up around and had close ties to such literary luminaries of the time as Nathaniel Hawthorne, Ralph Waldo Emerson, and David Thoreau. Since she wrote many of her stories about the life and times in New England, one can imagine that she would intend such a trait for Edith, where she clearly shows varying personality aspects in Ida and other characters. The film is interesting and very entertaining, and fit for the whole family. Though I wonder if the younger adult generation would appreciate it much – or even sit still for relaxed pace.

Kwantic I've seen this movie about 5 or more times, and it never ceases to touch me. I'm a huge fan a Louisa May Alcott (Little Women is one of my all time favorite books). So it greatly surprised me that I enjoyed the movie better then the book. The movie was well done, sticking to the book, but also changing a few details. They changed enough details to improve the over all story, but not enough to create a whole new story. For fans of the book, there's no reason that you won't enjoy this film. This movie presents a simple, sweet, and at times moving story. Edith is a 'servant' in the Hamilton's house. A Young Women of character, something that's so rare these days. The actors do a great job portraying there roles. Scenery for this movie is breath taking. Definitely worth every penny you spend to buy it.

sweetturtle This moving caught my heart up in that it truly depicted how Louisa May Alcott truly writes. The scripting and the casting were perfect in allowing us to feel and know the characters, that if one had read the book, would already have come to love (and hate). A definate must see for those whom love the culture, the romance and the spunk of a true Louisa May Alcott story!!

Hilke I loved every moment of the movie. They all are great actors. They made me cry and laugh. Also the locations are beautiful and well chosen. One of the best movies I ever saw. I still enjoy it and I've seen it about 10 times
