James Clavell's Noble House Reviews

• Long-Overdue Release of Classic TV Miniseries

  
  By A3MQ3IIFGLQ2PO on 2008-01-21
  Noble House is an eight-hour Classic TV Miniseries produced and broadcast in 1988 by NBC. Based on the fantastic and richly detailed novel of the same name by James Clavell, it features a large cast headlined by Pierce Brosnan, who portrays business tycoon Ian Dunross.
  
  This was NBC's second Classic TV Miniseries adaptation of a Clavell novel, the first was 1980s Shogun. Both take place in the same fictional universe, Noble House even featuring connections to Shogun and yet another Clavell novel, Tai-Pan.
  
  For this miniseries, the timeframe of the original novel was changed from the early 1960s to the 1980s.
  
  Other actors include Denholm Elliott, Deborah Raffin, Tia Carrere, John Houseman, Julia Nickson-Soul, and John Rhys-Davies (who also appeared in Shogun.)
  
  Noble House centers around big-business piracy in Hong Kong. The miniseries opens with Brosnan driving through the rain to meet Denholm Elliott, who plays the outgoing "tai-pan" in Hong Kong's oldest and leading trading firm: Struan & Company.
  
  "Tai-pan," a Cantonese expression, means "supreme leader," and at Struan & Company the title has been passed down at least 150 years
  
  Dunross' arch rival and enemy, Quillan Gornt (Rhys-Davles), is tai-pan of the second leading trading company. Not only does Gornt wants to destroy Dunross and take over Noble House, the two men have racing horses that compete against each other as well.
  
  Meanwhile, two American tycoons (Raffin and Ben Masters) have come to Hong Kong to make a financial deal with Dunross.
  
  But in Clavell's Hong Kong there is no such thing as a single deal. Double-dealing and triple-crossing are more the style of the international wheeler-dealers here.
  
  Diverse players here include bankers, government officials, police and a man called "Four Finger Wu" (Khigh Dhiegh), who runs an opium-smuggling syndicate from a junk boat in Aberdeen Harbor and has a mistress one-third his age named Venus Poon (Carrere).
  
  The eight hours practically sizzle, thanks to Bercovici's articulate script (he also wrote the script for the Shogun miniseries).
  
  Viewers a treated to a manipulated run on a bank, selling short on the stock market, the fixing of horse races, a kidnaping, seductions and murders. Running counterpoint are the burning and sinking of a floating restaurant and a catastrophic landslide.
  
  Add to this a couple of juicy love stories, especially the one between Brosnan and Raffin (who brings a light comic element to her role as the tough wheeler-dealer), while everything is done in ravishing cars, speedboats, mansions and casinos.
  
  But, the biggest and brightest star of the show is clearly Hong Kong, which is more like a video game than a city, filled with the exotica and intrigue that you used to find in old movies. Early in the show, a character who's just landed at the airport asks, "What's that smell?" His host answers, "That's the smell of money."
  
  The $16-million-plus production included eight weeks of exteriors shot in Hong Kong and another eight for interiors in the De Laurentiis studio in Wilmington, N.C.
  
  Highly recommended.
  
  

• Readily available on DVD in Region 4

  
  By A1HX00DL0SZM1G on 2004-12-31
  This mini-series that stars Pierce Brosnan and John Rhys-Davies is available on DVD in Region 4 for only about $15. So, if you love this show and want to see it on DVD then I recommend picking up the digitally remastered region 4 DVD and popping it into your region-free DVD player.
  UPDATE: The title has since arrived on DVD in Region 1.
  
  

• One Of The Greatest Movies I've Seen

  
  By on 2000-06-30
  Although the movie differs quite a bit from the book and miss some interesting side themes like the core of a spionage intricate plot of the book, it still keeps pace with the original story and the way it is presented makes it one of the best movies I've seen.

  Even when Mr. Clavell states at the beggining of each of his books that all characters are imaginary, historians and critics have found out that this is not quite true. Most characters in Shougun and Tai-Pan were real and the stories are based in legends and history. I can assure you that Noble House is not an exception. I consider this production in the level of the extraordinary Shougun mini-series.

  As in Shogun, Mr. Clavell was involved in the production and it's obvious his advice was unvaluable. Choosing Pierce Brosnan and John Rhys-Davies for the roles of Ian Dunross and Quillan Gornt was a hit as if both actors where taken from the book and brought to life.

  As some other customers have stated, I wish a DVD version was available. I've seen it in English and Spanish (the translation of the dialog was very good). I'd be the first in the line to buy a DVD version.

  I highly recommend this film to anyone.
  
  

• Best TV Mini Series ever Produced

  
  By A34I5QCCBRPJ8E on 2003-05-24
  Noble House is an outstanding story about big business, Hong Kong
  and politics laced with intrigue and romance.
  Ian Dunross, played by Pierce Brosnan, is the powerful leader of the history laden Noble House. His performance is nothing less than spectacular as it weaves through one exciting plot after another.
  This story is so riveting that you'll watch it again and again.
  I enjoy it so much that my VHS copy is no longer any good. I sincerely hope it is reprduced on DVD very soon.
  
  

• Great Miniseries, Disappointing DVD

  
  By A3TZD1U3132TSD on 2008-03-28
  Why do the DVD producers cut favorite scenes out of classic miniseries? This has been a family favorite since it first aired on television, and we have been waiting to purchase it on DVD for years! We would gladly have paid more to have the COMPLETE miniseries. Instead, the DVD producers decided to arbitrarily cut several favorite scenes out of the 2 disc set. The horse race, the trip to China to visit his friend in the China bank... these and several others are gone. I am torn between wanting to return the DVD in protest and promising the production company I will buy it again and pay more if they would only release the original, perfectly wonderful, miniseries. What I won't be doing is buying additional copies of this DVD for friends and family who have long wanted to see it again. They don't deserve such disappointment.
  
  
• Handsome adaptation of the Clavell novel
  By AJ8JJ6D5BSJKZ on 2002-06-30
  Pierce Brosnan brings the character of Ian Dunross, Taipan of Struan's to life in this very nice adaptation of the Clavell novel.

  Brought forward about a quarter century from the 1963 setting of the book, this miniseries properly gets rid of some of the side branches of the intricate Clavell plot. Most notably, the character of Peter Marlowe is thankfully dropped, along with wife, kids, and enemy. Marlowe was Clavell's way of writing himself into the book, and he is happily dispensed with.

  Most of the main events in the novel take place in the movie, or at least all I cared about.

  I should note that the romantic element in the book is heightened in the movie--the Casey/Dunross romance. Casey's very real conflict in the book of being torn between three men emotionally is more or less dropped in the movie, where it is love at first sight. (Also, Dunross's wife and kids are dispensed with). To make it easier yet, the scene on the boat where, in the book, Gornt grabs Casey and demonstrates to her that she feels for him is converted into a scene which seems likely to end in rape had not Gornt, for reasons unknown to us, decided to let her go. Not exactly sporting behavior for a fellow hoping to persuade the businesswoman to help him destroy Dunross.

  However, the movie displays knowledge of Clavell's work, and an understanding of them. Those who remember Tai-Pan will recall that Struan gets the best piece of land in Hong Kong, and Brock the second. This, though it is never mentioned, is developed in the movie to where the Struan's building is harborside with a great view, and Gornt's building must contend with Struan's building blocking its view.

  Great scenery, fine acting, and more or less true to the book.
  
  

• A great experience...!
  By A3OXS5UVY3ZHU9 on 2000-03-10
  This was one great experience. "Noble House" was one of the few movies in recent memory that ALL my family watched from beginning to end. In fact, when I put it on, I really didn't expect the reaction from my teenagers that I received. I mistakenly thought that with "Noble House" having business as a central theme as well as being a long movie to boot, would take it's toll on them. Was I wrong! They loved it and as I stated earlier, watched it all. However, having said that, it would be somewhat dishonest of me not to mentioned that my family do enjoy all movies that have an Asian theme, so perhaps I shouldn't have been as suprised as I was.

  The cast is first-rate with Pierce Brosnan as the Tai-Pan and the marvelous character actor John Rhys-Davies as his nemesis. Most of us are only familiar with Rhys-Davies in the Indiana Jones movies. When you see him in this film, you will see just what a great actor he really is. The Tai-Pan sure had his hands full with this guy. Moreover, this is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the movie outshines the book. I only wish the powers-to-be out there would issue this wonderful movie on DVD. The enhanced technology available in this format (DVD) would make the experience of "Noble House" one that would not be easy to forget. This is a must see movie and I highly recommend it for all to see.
  
  

• Great story, lousy technical quality
  By A24PA468O7ED7J on 2002-08-18
  This applies to a new tape. The story is great but the technical quality is awful. The tape, made in 1988, has squeezed 355 minutes of playing time into a 240 minute cassette by reducing the thickness of the tape. The result is extremely faded colors and occasional static. If this caused by the tape's age or thickness I am not in a position to say. If the reduced thickness is the cause then two cassettes is the obvious solution. I assume that when a DVD is issued the technical quality will have been rectified. I have placed a preorder for a DVD.
  
  
• ONE OF THE GREATEST MINI SERIES ON TV
  By AN3E9RM0YCVMJ on 2004-08-13
  I am surprised this has not been release on DVD - It was such a successful and inspiring series - I hope it is released soon on DVD - It is released on an Australian DVD - but cannot be played except on a multi-region DVD player.
  
  
• greatest tv series
  By on 2003-07-03
  I viewed this while living in Sydney and was glued all the way through. To me this is when Pierce Brosnan came to light as a really great actor. The storyline is very gripping. It's a must if you can get a hold of the DVD to see it from start to finish.
  
  
• Instant Karma!!!!
  By AD3L7V26ODVDV on 2004-07-22
  Pierce looks great and has the last laugh when his enemies plot to take over the Noble House from the Dunross family. Big Business is set in lavish and uncertain Hong Kong. Banking and other businesses scramble to to position themselves a few years before the return of Hong Kong to China. You follow all the players to the climatic conclusion when they all get what they deserve!!! I really want this on DVD do I don't have to deal with a two tape movie and all the rewinding!!
  
  
• A must!
  By AYIJ449Z62AET on 2002-08-17
  This is one of the best TV miniseries ever made! It is quite difficult to portray the essence of a GREAT book on TV, and perhaps the fact that James Clavell (author of the 2 Volume book) took an active roll when making this movie helped a lot in its success.
  Since Shogun, James Clavell became known as one of the best writers of all time. It all started with Tai-Pan, in the 19th Century with the birth of a commercial company which later became known as "The Noble House". In this new episode, James Clavell takes back the story to the "present day: 1980's(in the book is the 1960's) and portrays one of the most thrilling and vivid stories ever made.

  Hong Kong serves as a scenery to this non-stop drama story where everything happens so fast, with the most realistic environment and characters...the Honor and survival of the Noble House is at a stake once again. The "old" friends, the enemies, China, even the most insignificant habitant of Hong Kong will affect the future of things to come in an unexpected way.

  An excellent cast for an excellent film.

  You won't regret it!!!
  
  

• Outstanding TV Miniseries..!!
  By A2WD487DM2UDPE on 2008-01-12
  Having spent time in Hong Kong in the late 60's and early 70's, I found this mini-series to be extremely entertaining and accurate in the way the characters are developed. Hong Kong at this time was still British and "business" ruled the daily lives of the British and European company executives as well as the Chinese businessman and worker. One of my favorite movies, it tells the story of the "Noble House" and Ian Dunross. The Noble House is loosely based on the real trading company of Jardine Mathewson, one of the early trading companies that helped found Hong Kong. (who has since moved to Singapore when Hong Kong reverted back to the Chinese). Plot twists and fortunes made and lost plus romance and danger make this well worth watching. Lions Gate can be hit and miss on the print quality and at this price probably not restored...BUT......it will probable be better than my DVD-R copy off a VHS Tape.
  
  
• A brilliant screen adaptation of an engaging Novel
  By A3AC1OLMGM20RP on 2003-03-06
  The Noble House mini-series is one of the best screen adaptations of a multi-layered character driven story I have had the pleasure of viewing. I currently own the series on VHS and await its release on DVD. The screen adaptation varies slightly form the Clavell novel, by way of avoiding one or two subplots; nevertheless it does bring forward a vivid look into the world high stakes business and politics in modern day Hong Kong. For the individual interested in Wall Street type epics and the world of power business, Noble House is a definite must see. The series is lead by an excellent cast who seem like they were meant to play their roles, powerfully led by Pierce Brosnan as Ian Dunross the Tai Pan of the Noble House.
  
  
• THE STRUAN EPIC CONTINUES
  By A1ORZ2ZH5MIZCG on 2008-02-17
  
  
  Having all of Clavell's books, I revel in the movies made from his writings. He earlier brought SHOGUN to the screen, and for 4 nights in February, 1988, he aired the last show he produced. Starting on Sunday February 21st through Wednesday, February 24th, NOBLE HOUSE fought for ratings against the 1988 Winter Olympics taking place on another TV channel. For true fans of the late Clavell we miss new books coming off the presses. I lived in Japan for 25 months so SHOGUN has to be my favorite, with NOBLE HOUSE and TAI-PAN only an eyelash close seconds.
  
  Starting with TAI-PAN in 1841 this epic of the trading house Dirk Struan founded is brought up to date, 1963. The entire action of the 1200+ novel takes place in little more than one week. As in TAI-PAN the struggle between the two trading houses of Struan and Brock continues.
  
  The script of NOBLE HOUSE is well written, with the action moving swiftly along. The mix of characters provides a veteran group, and since a deal for Pierce Brosnan to star in a James Bond movie had fallen through, he was available for one of his last TV appearances. He stated at the time of filming of NOBLE HOUSE that he was going to move away from both stage and TV, wanting to make movies. He and John Rhys-Davies had worked together previously. With relaxed conditions on the sets, all went well with this production.
  
  The TV movie has,however, come under some complaint from both viewers and critics alike, but for me the movies made from James Clavell's books are lasting gifts given us from the author. The reviewer from TV Guide at the time, Don Merrill, "kicked the stuffings out of this miniseries" saying NOBLE HOUSE "furnished with just about everything a melodrama could possibly contain-except characters that come to life". Obviously he was no fan of Clavell's writings and possibly he had not read TAI-PAN. It is quite possible to watch this movie without having read either of the two books, but what a knowledge gained from these two books will provide is not only an understanding of this long standing feud to the death between these two houses but also some understanding of just what drives the personalites themselves, persons always concerned with their families' tradition going back into the mid 1840's, love as well as hate. It's not so much money or greed driving these folks, but just plain cold hatred. They want to destroy each other.
  
  In the second night's drama the fire aboard the floating restaurant happens, and even Don Merrill of TV Guide termed that "a dilly of a fire'. So too the horse race, and many other activities of this movie as well.
  
  What a great mini-series. Long live NOBLE HOUSE and TAI-PAN.
  
  Semper Fi.
  
  
• Excellent entertainment--class and ancient feuds
  By A2XRMQA6PJ5ZJ8 on 2008-03-29
  The "Noble House" miniseries is a very cool adaptation of the James Clavell novel of the same name. The novel is complex and convoluted, and this miniseries actually does a stellar job of telling essentially the same story as the novel in a more linear fashion, which is essential to the miniseries medium.
  
  Pierce Brosnan, head of the Struan Clan and Tai-Pan of the Noble House, sets the standard for being suave and sophisticated--his portrayal of the Tai-Pan in my opinion is absolutely perfect. John Rhys-Davies as Gornt, the descendant of Brock, the Struan Clan's ancient enemy, crude and barbaric but also sophisticated, makes a perfect contrast with the elegant Brosnan. They seem like born adversaries. (We all remember Davies as the Portuguese navigator in Shogun.)
  
  This is a captivating miniseries. Set in Hong Kong, it is the story of a Clan feud between two powerful British shipping firms there, both of which have been based in Hong Kong since its founding as a British Crown colony. In fact, "Noble House" is the sequel to "Tai-Pan" which is the story of the founding of Hong Kong and of the Noble House. The whole story is great fun, sort of a "Dallas" in a Hong Kong setting (this is not a put-down--I loved Dallas!) The film manages to make the combat of high finance easy to follow and understand, and this is a fascinating story.
  
  The DVD is well-mastered, and I particularly like the soundtrack of this one. Highly recommended.
  
  
• One of the best films I've ever seen
  By on 1999-09-09
  I've seen this film long before I was a Pierce Brosnan-fan and I really enjoyed it. The plot is great and the cast is very good (especially Dunross, Gornt and Orlanda, I did not like Casey that much). In the meantime I read the novel and I was surprised that most of the dialogues were not changed in the film. However, the film is much better than the novel. This film is a must for everone who likes economic thrillers, love stories and of course Pierce Brosnan.

• Clavell and Bercovich at their best
  By A3AXJ9U8YE33ZY on 2006-10-01
  I got the book and read it in two days (more than 800 pages). Clavell is a master of the art of captivating his readers' attention, intriguing them with suspense, delighting them with superb detail and surprising them with plot twists and wit.
  
  The movie does perfect justice to the book - no corners are cut and the spirit and letter of the book are kept almost religiously. After all, Clavell himself took part in creating the series.
  
  A young and talented Pierce Brosnan plays a quite real Dunross while being supported by a solid cast of experienced heavyweights showing off their superb acting in a romantic yet accurate Hong-Kong of the 60-70s.
  
  I bought the tapes as soon as they were available and have been watching them once a year (so that the tape is 'exercised', yet not worn-out).
  I plan to go to a studio and have them transferred to DVD so that I save them from oblivion.
  
  I would kill for a full resolution, remastered DVD version with surround! I can't understand why a lot of trash is being re-released on DVD while creations like Noble House are still ignored.
  
  
• Incomplete set
  By on 2002-05-04
  I purchased this movie with the expectation that it was the complete film. Instead it comprises only three of the four parts. Buyer beware!
  
  
• I watched it over and over.
  By ATIDE5TOLM2FC on 2003-04-26
  This mini series is a great movie. it has great casts. A fantastic and attracting story. Best actors and actresses from HK, UK, and US brought their best performance in this tv series. Pierce Brosnan was playing Ian Dunross, and he was at his best, really charming. He was surely the "tai-pen".
  A must see for everyone.

  I love this Mini-Series so much that I've worn out my VHS copy. I can't wait for it to be released on DVD. There is a lot of action in this series- multiple plots unfolding at the same time. Too bad there is no sequel. I'm still wondering who has the last coin.

  This is a superb realization for the screen of Clavell's magnificent novel. Direction, acting and filming are outstanding. Highly recommended.
  
  
• Great Movie
  By on 1999-06-21
  Firstly, there's fantastic casting in this movie. Pierce Brosnan who plays the key role as Tai-Pan is suave,"moralic" yet ruthless and ever so charming. He fits the role as Ian Dunross perfectly as he is a flexible actor. John Rys Davies gave an excellent performance too. The plot is twisted with a good mixture of everything. I did say this is one of the best movies I have ever had the pleasure to see. This one is for keeps!
  
  
• Excellent Translation of the Book
  By A2C62E51C6D0SK on 2002-06-26
  The novel by James Clavell is exceptional and I'm tempted to say that this is true for the movie as well. By now, I have seen the movie for a couple of times and it is still exciting.
  The plot is dense, the characters are perfect and the scene is like you would imagine Hong-Kong in the 1960's. Pierce Brosnan is the incarnation of the taipan of the Noble House.

  I should say that some side plots have been dropped from the movie, propably due to time constraint. But this does not affect the suspense and the character of the novel.
  It is not exaggerated to say that the movie mediates perfectly the perception of James Clavell himself.
  Like other readers, I'm eagerly waiting for the DVD version of the movie.
  
  

• Noble House - Not Bad, Worth Buying
  By on 2003-01-09
  Yes, it is not the book. But what could be? Well, Shogun comes close but that is because of Clavell's direct input. Still, I enjoyed the film quite a bit and was pleased that while the story was slightly altered, probably more for space than anything else, it did not lose the soul of the book. Why the Asian Saga is not a TV series, I will never know. Imagine David Chase taking this on after the Sopranos. Well, perhaps I will make this series a reality one day. It certainly deserves it. Incidentally, for those of you who love Clavell, let me recommend all and any books by Ayn Rand. You will most certainly find a common theme in her books - rugged individualism, rational heroes and powerful challenges.
  Here's to the next 100 years of the Noble House.
  
  
• Unhappy -- The ste is missing the last tape in the series
  By A15GYCO7HDUVWB on 2005-12-23
  I bought this series and only three tapes came. 90 minutes each. Someone made a post that they narrowed the 355 minutes down. I have to say there was no editing they left out the last tape and as a result you miss the enitre climax and ending of the novel. This was extremely frustrating and I would not purchase this product.
  
  
• Review of NOBLE HOUSE (TV SERIES)
  By ANDJNTN9974VM on 2008-02-28
  I first saw this on VHS Video Tape in 1989-1990.
  Absolutely first class production values, brilliant setting, fantastic lead cast - while Pierce Brosnan is as debonair as ever as Ian Dun Ross ( even if he is rather ruthless in this particular manifestation), John Rhys Davies is the perfect foil as the slightly crude Quillan Gornt!
  
  As usual - fast paced business, jet setting action, classy and glamorous. The colonial backdrop,first class plot, exotic locales, great photoplay etc contribute along with the typical trappings of the International Business Tycoon, to make this an extremely watchable and enjoyable Series.
  
  Indeed, while "Remington Steele" may have set the stage to catapult Pierce Brosnan into becoming James Bond, his cold, clinical character portrayal of Ian Dun Ross in Noble House, cemented it (in my opinion.)
  
  Absolutely watch-able - Eminently collect-able and highly desirable as an addition to one's home DVD collection, which is why I ve just PRE-ORDERED it via Amazon! I cant wait to watch it again!!

• A review from a native of Hong Kong
  By A10MUTANLGY2FW on 2008-03-16
  I was born and raised in Hong Kong until I was 16 years old. I didn't read the book by James Clavell but the mini-series certainly brought back nostalgia from my formative years. The distinction rating given to this series is based on the accurate and uncompromising portray of Hong Kong during the last few years prior to 1997 -- the repatriation to China from being a British colony. There is a write-up on Wikipedia http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noble_House that detailed the story behind Noble House. It is based on Jardine Matheson who founded the Jardine Matheson Trading Company which conducted trades between India, China, and the U.K.. As an amateur history enthusiast, I really appreciate how Clavell captures the sentiment of the natives as well as the foreign counterparts greed to financial gains under those convoluted political systems.
  To most people who grew up in the West, Noble House gives you a realistic snapshot of the history of Hong Kong during the 1980s. The entire production was shot in Hong Kong, Macau (Macao), and part of China. My only regret is that the producer did not spend the time to teach the actors the proper Chinese dialect (Cantonese) which resulted in utter nonsense to those who spoke the language. This particular lack of details has always been overlooked in most American film productions in which I deem very disrespectful. Nevertheless, I highly recommend this mini-saga to those who would enjoy an intriguing suspenseful drama situated in the Orient in the late 20th century.
  
  Thank you.
  
  
• You can watch it with your mother and still get the chills!
  By A1W4T4GRXAEYSW on 2000-09-28
  I saw this movie with my mother. I am 31 and I LOVE movies, specially classics and there aren't that many movies I can see with my mother now-a-days. I liked Pierce Brosnan alright but hadn't seen him do anything really spectacular. When I sat down to see this movie I expected to be tired enough after a couple of hours so that I would see it in "installments". Instead, I found myself not being able to, well, "put the movie down". I kept putting in video after video because I was so intrigued by what was going on. Half way through I resented having to pause for a quick bight to eat.

  I didn't really think the subject would make for an interesting movie but it did and I enjoyed every minute of it. It is a powerful movie that, surprisingly enough, does not contain too much violence, sex, bad language, etc. I've seen many action and suspense movies and I can honestly say this one IS still quite unique and original and you really can't guess what will happen next. Since I know nothing about the culture in which the movie is set, I enjoyed it all the more! I definately recommend it and hey, it's not your typicall GUY movie nor is it your typical CHICK-FLICK either, so you can watch it with your significant other without getting bored!
