Drama Editorial Review

The Thorn Birds is a great movie with excellent picture quality. It follows the story of a Catholic priest who wrestles with his vows and his forbidden love for a woman. The movie spans several generations of a wealthy Australian family and explores their lives and loves. Although some customers complained that the movie was not complete and only included half of it, overall the acting and the intertwining stories were well received.
