Editorial Review:
Amazon.com:
Beaten down by years of mistreatment by his abusive father, Charlie McFell's (Lloyd Owen) enduring struggle to overcome his past, live up to his responsibilities, and recognize the depths of his own integrity is not easy, but audiences will find it remarkably rewarding. With all the features of a great television miniseries--murder, blackmail, revenge, heartbreak, betrayal, courage, vindication, and true love--what's remarkable about The Cinder Path is that there's nothing cheesy about it. This high-caliber production features strong acting, well-written characters the audience will care about, amazing Edwardian costumes, vivid western front trench warfare reenactments, Dolby digital sound, and a scene index.
Charlie overcomes a dangerous secret, a hollow marriage of convenience with the haughty Victoria (Catherine Zeta-Jones), the challenge of running his family's Northumberland farm, and finally the rigors of military boot camp as he is called to serve in World War I. He struggles to vanquish his own ghosts and become the man no one thought he could be. Based on the popular novel by Catherine Cookson, this made-for-television production will please a wide variety of viewers, from fans of PBS and BBC-style programming to anyone who likes a love story with a happy ending. --Tara Chace

The movies that are created from the stories by Catherine Cookson are always wonderful to watch. The only thing better than reading one of her books is watching the movie adaption of one.
Rating: - First Rate
Have loved all of Ms. Cookson's movies so far, and really enjoyed this one. Good story - love and war and infidelity and revenge. Catherine Zeta Jones played the role of an unfaithful, unloving wife, but did a good job. The lead role was well played and the best part was that it all ended happily.

Rating: - Catherine Cookson DVD's
I was extrememly pleased with my latest purchase of DVD's on Catherine Cookson. It was better then I even imagined.
Rating: - Stirring Drama --- Maria Miles delivers an exceptional performance.
Set in the rural areas around Newcastle during the years 1913-1918, this impressive dramatization of Cookson's work centers on the personal struggles of a wealthy young land owner (Charlie) who is seen by many around him as a weakling and utter failure until he is thrown into the cauldron of military service on the Western Front and is forced by circumstances to fight and lead or perish. Much of his inspiration and will to survive comes from the love and devotion of Nellie, the troubled younger sister of ... Read More
