Editorial Review:
G.K. Chesterton's kindly, cassocked crime-solver
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.
Kenneth More truly inhabits Chesterton's unlikely hero in these six classic television tales, as seen on the PBS Mystery! series. The New York Times lauded the series for "capturing Chesterton's distinctive spirit and sense of humor" and Kenneth More for playing Father Brown with "low-keyed but clearly defined perfection." You'll surely agree that the good father's sly wit, benign manner, and steel-trap mind never fail to delight.
Includes G.K. Chesterton bio and cast filmographies.

I pretty much agree with another reviewer here that the stories move a little too fast sometimes, and you find yourself wondering how Father Brown figured things out. A couple of the stories are not very good, but there is one very clever one set in a London theater house that I enjoyed.
I also think that anyone who complains about production values ought to remember that ... Read More
Rating: - Let's bless Father Brown again for giving, in Set 2 of the series, a fine role for that excellent actor Kenneth More
With Father Brown-Set 2 we have in a Region 1 package the final six episodes from the 13-episode series first shown in Britain in 1974. The quality of the sound and image is exactly as it is in the three disc Region 2 release. Which is to say, not high quality. Still, the main draw here is Kenneth More as Father Brown, and for More fans, more is always better than less.
Not much escapes Father Brown, a quiet Catholic priest in Twenties England. He saves souls and he catches murderers. ... Read More
