If the ambition is to provide two hours of instantly forgettable, popcorn-munching escapism, it succeeds.

Yo, there's no way for me to review this film without saying, take your *insert ethnicity + "ass" here* to see this film,like now. You have to see it in order to know what you're really messing with.

A movie that not only functions as a solid scarefest but a razor-sharp satire.

Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

I reiterate all the positive comments I have read here about "Notorious Woman" It was an excellent series, With all the crap that is put out on DVD, I can't understand why this was never released to DVD. It was a series that broadened my mind and turned me on to Chopin. I hope someday someone with the capability to do it will check it out and realize what a great series it was and get it released. Rosemary Harris and George Chakiris were Brilliant. I met George Chakiris last year A a Showing of "West Side Story" and asked him about it - he said he doesn't know who would have the original films. It was filmed in England. He said he was given a copy but doesn't know if he had all the episodes. He also wished it could be released and said seem delighted That I remembered it.

A fascinating historical personality makes for a stellar miniseries. Yes, it was definitely in color. Rosemary Harris is indeed a wonder, and for masculine eye candy there is George Chakiris ("West Side Story") and Jeremy Irons. Oddly enough, though I currently am a huge fan of Irons I didn't realize he was in this production until I read his biog here on IMDb. George was a feminist of sorts, a woman author assuming a male first name and boldly wearing pants, though she dealt with the usual problems of women since time began (relationship woes, unruly offspring). One of my all-time favorites in the show's tenure, along with "I, Claudius" and "Lily" (Francesca Annis as Lily Langtry, the most celebrated babe of her era).

I saw this mini-series on PBS many years ago, and it is still one of my all-time favorites. Rosemary Harris gives a brilliant and touching performance as Aurore Dupin ("George Sand"), and the supporting cast is excellent. Harris won an Emmy for her performance, quite deservedly.The series follows George Sand's life as she struggles against the many obstacles that are placed in her path because she is a woman. She takes to dressing like a man and adopting the pen-name "George Sand" for her writings. The series depicts her friendships/relationships with famous men of her time, including Chopin and Liszt.A thoroughly memorable and moving series. If it is not available on video, I hope it soon will be.

I'm disappointed that this mini-series about George Sand is not available on DVD/VHS. I was 16 years old when I saw it in 1974 and still remember it vividly (and there aren't many programs/movies that I remember from back then). I thought Rosemary Harris was wonderful...I must admit I don't remember the other characters as well (even Jeremy Irons, who I thought was amazing in "Brideshead Revisited"). I really want to see the series again and want my kids to see it too. I was recently reminded about this film because the Walter's Art Museum (Baltimore) recently had an exhibition; one painting in the exhibit was of George Sand by Delacroix. It is thought that he original painting that depicts both George Sand and Frederic Chopin was cut in half. The Chopin painting is well known and probably the George Sand one less so. I sure hope Notorious Woman is made available and/or shown again on TV.
