Conclusion to the beloved mystery classic Featuring Film Legend Kenneth More as G.K. Chesterton's wily detective-priest
FATHER BROWN, Set 2
On DVD August 14, 2007
PBS Mystery! series favorite
-Acorn Media announces the August 14, 2007 home video debut of Father Brown, Set 2, the concluding six episodes of the timeless, critically acclaimed PBS Mystery! favorite.
Heaven help the murderer who crosses paths with G.K. Chesterton's beloved detective, Father Brown. Seemingly distracted and even a bit dotty, the kindly priest always manages to confound criminals with his keen observations and inescapable logic. He prefers to go unnoticed, dismissed as irrelevant-until the moment of truth, when he unravels the most devious schemes.
Renowned actor Kenneth More (A Night to Remember), in his most famous TV role, truly inhabits Chesterton's unlikely hero in these six classic television tales. The New York Times lauded the series for "capturing Chesterton's distinctive spirit and sense of humor" and More for playing Father Brown with "low-keyed but clearly defined perfection." The good father's sly wit, benign manner, and steel-trap mind never fail to delight.
Although he left a huge body of work, including 80 novels, British writer G.K. Chesterton is best remembered today for his Father Brown mystery stories.
