"FOYLE'S WAR, SET 5 This set contains three separate but related 100-minute films commissioned by the ITV network and revolving around the assignments that land on the desk of Detective Chief Superintendent Christopher Foyle (played just short of ornery by the talented Michael Kitchen) during World War II. Closed off from the action on the front lines, Foyle is sent to Hastings, on the south coast of England, to battle the war's residual wrongdoing: the murder and bribery committed by the politically ambitious and the profiteering. Foyle doesn't drink, yell or tomcat — he's been given none of the detective’s standard character flaws — but he is still riveting at every step of his crime solving. The visual pleasures are there, too: "Foyle’s War" is exacting in its period details of wartime English countryside. "
