Marco Polo Audience Reviews

Scanialara You won't be disappointed!
GazerRise Fantastic!
Acensbart Excellent but underrated film
Erica Derrick By the time the dramatic fireworks start popping off, each one feels earned.
marting-70469 I originally saw it in Europe in the early 1980s. It was longer. There was a whole episode just about the plague in Hormuz which was mostly cut out in the American version.But it's still a great series. Very realistic and authentic compared to most series produced in these days.
Andres Salama I saw this 1982 miniseries on the famous medieval Venetian explorer of the Far East as a teenager and I loved it. The great story of Marco Polo done in this international co production with a great cast, great locations (in Italy, Morocco and Inner Mongolia in China), great historical reconstruction of the era, great storytelling, faithfulness to the original material. The little known actor Kenneth Marshall stars as Marco Polo. Denholm Elliot is his father Niccolo. Anne Bancroft is his mother. John Gielgud has a cameo as the Doge of Venice. Burt Lancaster is Pope Gregory X. Despite its many virtues, this miniseries has become quite hard to find and it is not usually aired on TV on reruns.
Pam Strayer It's the only decent telling of the tale of Marco Polo. Incredible cast! You can find it in DVD on Amazon for about $40. I just got one. It's about 8 hours long.I returned from a trip to Venice and wanted to know more about this history of Venice. This DVD is great at painting a picture of the way Venice looked in the 1200s, centuries before the style of Venetian Gothic we now associate with Venice was born.The series has an all star cast - Burt Lancaster, John Gielgud, John Houseman, Anne Bancroft - the true greats - sprinkled in with lesser known but very good actors, like Ken Marshall in the title role.The opening scenes are riveting - you'll find yourself wondering if this could possibly be true and then going to wikipedia to check the historical facts and finding out everything, pretty much, comes from real historical sources.Not available on Netflix, so you might visit Amazon and grab one of the rare copies that surfaces there.
malinflood I saw this mini series when it was broadcasted in Sweden 1982. It made an enormous impact on me, and ever since then I have been fascinated by China and its history. It is actually thanks to that series that I now work and live in Hong Kong.Even though I was rather young when I saw it on TV, I remember the autencity, the detailed surroundings, the beatiful photo, the great actors and much more that made me eager to know more.
