The Moonstone, a sacred Hindu diamond, was stolen from the head of the Moon God in its shrine by John Herncastle in 1799. The stone is said to be cursed if removed from the shrine. In 1846, Herncastle visits his sister to wish his niece, Rachel, a happy birthday. But his sister refuses to see him, and he vows that he will always remember his niece's birthday - a vow which later turns sinister. Two years later, just before Rachel's birthday, a man named Franklin Blake announces to Rachel that The Moonstone has been bequeathed to her by Herncastle. Blake gives her the jewel on her birthday and offers to mount it for her to wear. Inevitably, the jewel is found missing the next morning, and Rachel believes Blake stole it. Determined to prove his innocence, Blake leaves to pursue the real truth behind the theft. ## Images ![The Moonstone VHS - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/51RYA0Q3AJL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Superb Adaptation of Good Old-Fashioned Detective Novel *by T***A on Reviewed in the United States on October 14, 2001* I watched this video twice and found this is simply a superb adaptation of Wilkie Collins' classic novel, and the film succeeds not only in presenting the atomosphere of the original novel but in drawing the viewers into the complicated mystery about the missing stone, faith and betrayal, and secret love.There are a lot of things in it, which a great mystery fans as well as avid readers of 19th century novels would relish; the brooding sinister-looking quicksand in the opening secne, a dashing hero and strong-willed heroine, a mysterious housemaid, and of course, the Moonstone, a cursed diamond which brings sudden unhappiness to a peaceful country house. As this beautiful diamond vanishes one night, a series of mysterious incidents ensues. Now enters the rose-loving detective Sgt. Cuff, and his investigation starts, but ... well, after that, please see what happens for yourself if you haven't read the origibal novel yet.For those who have already read the novel, and know the plot from the beginning to the end, the way they adapted the original is so skillful that you will never feel disappointed. The spirit of Wilkie Collins' classic tale is preserved intact like the acclaimed Sherlock Holmes series featuring the late, great Jeremy Brett, and no unnecessary liberty was taken in the process of making it a film. Shot with visually fine production designs and based on good script which faithfully visualize the original, "The Moonstone" comes out as a winner, including first-rate cast. Greg Wise, after rather minor role in "Sense and Sensibility," portrays the likable hero with good acting, and Keeley Hawes is a standout as the lovely but independent heroine who is not afraid of having her own will (a kind of a woman Collins loved to portray). Minor characters are also given moments to shine, and even comic relief Miss Clack is no exception.Of course, there are several changes done; for example, Mr. Candy is given another job of explaining something about the diamond, (which, by the way, he didn't do in the original novel), but those changes are all reasonable. And some scenes may look strange to the 21st century audiences (especailly how to locate the missing stone with some medical help), but after all the book was written more than 130 years ago, and we should accept these things as they are, shouldn't we?So, to all fans of good, old-fahioned detective story and Victorian novels, this video is strongly recommended, and I hope you will enjoy watching it, as I did. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Interesting movie *by L***A on Reviewed in the United States on April 20, 2008* I like Greg Wise and period pieces so purchased this movie and was not disappointed. A good watch for anyone. ### ⭐⭐ Two Stars *by S***N on Reviewed in the United States on August 17, 2014* Enjoyed it, but wasnt as gripping as i thought it might be ... --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.it/products/46669338-the-moonstone-vhs](https://www.desertcart.it/products/46669338-the-moonstone-vhs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Italy* *Store origin: IT* *Last updated: 2026-05-08*
