Editorial Reviews

Originally aired by the BBC in 1974, this 13-part miniseries depicts the period during the mid-19th century in which the royal families of Austria-Hungary, Russia, and Germany dominated Europe. By the dawn of the 20th century, however, political uprisings and societal change led to a tumultuous upheaval in the once-decadent lives of the Hapsburgs, Romanovs, and Hohenzollerns, resulting in the end of their monarchical rule. Covering over 60 years in the course of its 13 episodes, Fall of Eagles takes what could have been a dry history lesson and instead fashions an engrossing tale of family, loyalty, betrayal, and, ultimately, destruction. A cast of hundreds -- along with the typical BBC eye for period drama -- brings Fall of Eagles to life. Starring notable actors such as Michael Kitchen, Gemma Jones, Robert Brown, Miriam Margoyles, John Rhys-Davies, and Patrick Stewart as a remarkably believable Vladimir Lenin, Fall of Eagles merits consideration among the very best BBC miniseries of its time.

October 10, 2009: Packed with intimate historic information, spell binding and very informative. If you are a lover of history but like to hear the human nature of things, this is the story for you. I viewed in two days and could not wait to view the next segment.

July 19, 2007: This DVD is one of the worst I've ever tried to watch. The story line is discontinuous and illogical, the volume fluctuates so that you can't hear some conversations, the battles are presented in the form of hokey drawings that are moved around a little and the acting is horrible.
