***IMPORTANT NOTE: THE AMAZON DESCRIPTION IS INCORRECT (at time of writing this review, see below) AN IMPORTANT PERIOD OF ENGLISH CIVIL WAR THAT WILL HELP FORM MODERN DEMOCRACY COMPARISON OF U.K. AND EDITED U.S. VERSION INCLUDED BELOW (this streaming version is the U.S. edited release) This historical drama-fiction (originally called The Devil's Whore in the U.K.) is not the salacious production it has often been ascribed. It is a fictional story set in a very important historical period that will affect modern democracy in both England and the United States. This story is told through a mixture of real and fictional characters and several of those real characters have their relationships changed. The secondary title of this movie is actually "A true account of the life and times of Angelica Fanshawe". However, that is stated within the fictional world of this character and is not a literal assertion(see historical notes below for more). Though it is not perfect history, I did appreciate the historical aspects and excellent performances. This show does act as a conduit directing viewers toward further research of a very important period. There is an excellent sequel to this show called New Worlds with Jamie Dornan. THE STORY (no spoilers): The story opens with the wedding of beautiful Angelica Fanshawe (Andrea Riseborough) to her cousin Harry Fanshawe. As Angelica states "he inherited the house and she already had the name" so this is not just a marriage of political convenience. It is a love match. The story quickly backtracks to Angelica and Harry as children since they are life long friends. We see through a series of events that Angelica's Catholic mother departs for France to become a nun, leaving the fatherless Angelica alone. Little Angelica curses God and see's a hallucination or vision of the devil in a tree. The viewer understands later that she told this story to others when she was just a child and it will contribute to why she is later called "The Devil's Whore". Back to her new marriage. She has served as a lady in waiting at the court of King Charles I (Peter Capaldi) and looks upon the Charles as her second father. Harry is also a favorite at court and is close friends with mischievous Prince Rupert. Unfortunately, this love match of Harry and Angelica becomes complicated as Harry is not prepared for the naturally passionate but chaste Angelica. Her soft sighs and passionate outburst in sex are misunderstood by the naïve Harry who feels she should be completely silent during intimacy. Harry remembers her childish tales of the devil and is even more suspicious. Nevertheless, they are lifelong friends. Soon clouds of civil war will hang over the entire country and test the survival of this couple. One other important character introduced at the wedding is the real Edward Sexby who at this point is still a lowly soldier and mercenary. He admires Angelica, but obviously cannot aspire to such a match. He is assigned by Prince Rupert to serve as retainer to Harry Fanshawe and will follow Angelica in and out of the story as her protector. Through Sexby and Elizabeth Lilburne, Angelica will come to meet Thomas Rainsborough (Michael Fassbender), John Lilburne, and Oliver Cromwell (Dominic West). She is steadfastly supportive of Charles I, but inspired by the free ideals spread by the likes of Lilburne and his wife Elizabeth. Ultimately the coming war will cloud many friendships and test many loyalties. Angelica will be launched on a long journey of survival and redemption set against the depth of change in that era. These are just the opening scenes and set up a much greater story. OTHER THOUGHTS: The performances in this series really are outstanding and the scenery amazing. The music is more modern sounding and actually cheapens the production a tiny bit, but doesn't ruin it by any means. Excluding the weird visions of the devil (which did serve a purpose), this is actually a very serious production with excellent production values. For Americans, the English Civil Wars are a very under explored topic in history, but are profound in their affect on our modern system of government. HOW IS THE U.K. EDITION DIFFERENT FROM THE EDITED U.S. VERSION? The U.S. version called "Devil's Mistress" instead of the original U.K. "Devil's Whore". It is approx. 24 minutes shorter than the U.K. edition. I played both versions side by side to determine just how critical the cuts. Mainly, there are a few scenes shortened, like where the Earl of Manchester commands Lilburne to bow. There is a very brief conversation with the Earl and his commanders before he runs into Lilburne which is not included. Small scenes like a meeting before a certain trial, or a part where a preacher is removed from the pulpit are cut entirely. They add a little to the story, but are not critical and don't even damage the flow very much. There is some editing of nudity and gore. It comes across as a bit token since there is still nudity and there is still bloodshed. And of course there is the change of title to the less sensational "Mistress" instead of "Whore". That does cause some continuity problems because in the show a character does call her "The Devil's Whore". The nudity, as I said, is still there. Instead of seeing a whole female torso, you may see the upper part of the breasts in one scene. The cutaways are just much quicker so there is less nudity and for a shorter number of seconds. The swim scene where Angelica walks out into the pond is cut short so her backside is never shown. As I said, it's really not that sensational and if one is not concerned about the nudity in the shorter version, the longer version is unlikely to offend.

The Devil's Whore [Region 2
] HISTORICAL PERSPECTIVE: ANGELICA FANSHAWE is not a real person, but it seems her name was borrowed from the very real Lady Ann Fanshawe who did marry a cousin named Richard. That couple had 10 children and were royalists. They did not have a life anything like depicted in this movie. EDWARD SEXBY served in Cromwell's Roundhead Cavalry Regiment. He worked his way from private to full Colonel through his various military service. It is said he participated in the capture of Charles I at Holdenby House and also raised a foot regiment to serve Cromwell in Ireland. However, he was ordered to Scotland prior to that campaign. He had a fallout with Cromwell over the assumption of Lord Protector and did plan assassination attempts though his emissaries failed. He died in the Tower of London in 1658 (not depicted in this movie). THOMAS RAINSBOROUGH was the son of a Vice Admiral in the Royal Navy. Thomas commanded vessels in the 1st Civil War, but eventually fought in the New Model Army. Thomas was later killed by four royalists in a botched kidnapping attempt, though there were ultimately rumors tracing it back to parliament (and thus Cromwell). JOHN LILBURNE agitated for individual rights and freedom during both the reign of Charles I and the interregnum of Cromwell. He was incarcerated and tried many times. One of his trials (depicted in this show) was even said to have inspired some aspects of our own 5th Amendment to the Constitution. He was the author of The Agreement of the People and other works that may have contributed to aspects of our Constitution. He was friends with Cromwell and fought distinguished battles. His campaign for individual rights ultimately put him in conflict with the Lord Protector. His imprisonment in Mont Orgueil is depicted here, but his end is changed as the final transfer to The Tower is not shown. PRINCE RUPERT OF THE RHINE (close friend of the fictional Harry in this program) was the nephew of Charles I and spent time at English Court, though he was the younger son of German prince Frederick V. Though it was not depicted in this show, he became a preeminent Royalist General in the Civil Wars. His sister was also the mother of King George I of Great Britain.
No problem with the seller, but do not buy this. The North American release has about an hour's worth of content edited out! This series is exceptional -- beautifully filmed and exquisitely acted, it is quality entertainment and a wonderfully imaginative fictionalized account of the Civil War with a believable and powerful female lead. This version has been neutered (even the title; it was originally called "The Devil's Whore". Watch it, but find the original DVD else you'll miss out on literally a quarter of the movie.
Dvd arrived very quickly and in great condition. Thanks Prime Goods Outlet. TRUNCATED version by MILL CREEK...25 PLUS MINUTES MISSING! DISAPPOINTINGLY I CAN'T GIVE A CLEAR REVIEW. What is presented is interesting...what did I miss?...Unsure. Widescreen, 2 parts, 190- minutes, NO SUBTITLES, TRULY disappointing to realize I have bought a version that is NOT as I thought, luckily I didn't spend a great deal of money. NOT WHAT I SOUGHT. CUSTOMERS SHOULD BE NOTIFIED ABOUT TRUNCATED VERSION UP FRONT...PERIOD...
The claimed historical detail was horrible. But it was ok for a couple nights of entertainment. Good acting and nice sets. It was far better than anything on TV, so I cannot complain.
I'd love to give more stars, but the historical subject matter is incredibly complex and it is difficult to deal with the far-reaching impact of events in what is essentially a well-produced bodice ripper with 21st century sentiments. I watched it because the English Civil War laid so much groundwork for the American Civil War and the ongoing division between northern and southern culture in the US. All of that said, it's a pretty good mini-series with a hauntingly beautiful soundtrack.
Luckily I was able to watch the full version on TV so I was able to see the missing minutes near the end enough so I could understand the ending. Great documentary movie though about how times haven't changed much regarding men expecting to keep their mouths shut and just be pretty
The movie was okay not one I would recommend owning but rent for night maybe
Well done, though not on par with the best historicals. Had Amazon's three star rating equaled more than "It's ok," would have given it three stars, as it's good rather than above average. Within the context of Amazon's current rating equivalence, 3.5 stars.
The parcel arrived on time. The cello wrap of the movie was broken when I opened the parcel.

Experience one of the most explosive periods of history-the English Civil War-through the eyes of a passionate young girl (Andrea Riseborough, Oblivion) who exploits a country in crisis in a bid to better her own position. With murder and misadventure following her wherever she goes, she becomes inextricably linked with key historical figures, including the heroic revolutionary Rainsborough (Michael Fassbender, X-Men: Apocalypse) and Oliver Cromwell (Dominic West, TV's The Wire). An ingenious blend of fact and fiction, THE DEVIL'S MISTRESS is a sumptuously rich miniseries event of love, betrayal, and renewal.
