Als Wiedergutmachung erhält sie eine neue Stelle im Einkaufstempel. Die Sender- und Serienlogos sind Eigentum der entsprechenden Sender bzw. Doch Harry hält weiter an seinem Traum fest. Alle Whatch2gether auf Serienjunkies. Jahrhunderts DVD-Tipp Mr. He saw that people are happiest when carefree, when worries, troubles and problems subside and for a time can be forgotten.
Free from negativities, people tend also to become free and generous with their time and money, rewarding themselves and Harry with their purchases.
He could conjure this trick because he made them feel special, part of an experience, not just a purchase. In fact, making others feel important and special was his own special talent, as he had perfected the very same thought about himself.
It worked with everyone: staff, customers, contacts, investors, friends. When Harry was with them they felt like royalty.
Showman, promoter, huckster and gambler, Harry comes alive in this beautiful and lavish production, played to perfection by the amazing Jeremy Piven another conjurer , who in no time becomes Selfridge while Piven ceases to be.
How impressive this magic trick is! The series ran for four years covering the years to This boxset here includes the first three seasons, running from start-up in through The First World War and ending at the time of the signing of The Treaty of Versailles in To say these were tumultuous years is an understatement.
War and politics, technological advances, social change, the world in upheaval. Harry was in the middle of it and took full advantage of the times.
On the surface fashion may not appear to have much to do with revolution, but Harry thought differently. Yet women were and remained in the vanguard and Harry knew it.
If they were marching for the vote and for more social equality, they still wanted to be beautiful and Harry was there for them. The latest styles, fashions, perfumes and accessories were not just on display.
They were there to be touched, felt, tried on, engaged with. Mirrors were mounted in the store everywhere to remind the women how beautiful they looked.
Staff were on hand too, ever ready to make recommendations and compliment customers for their good taste and fashion sense.
This seems so automatic and natural now because it is. But it was Harry who started it. He was the beginning. Did it matter that he was American?
You bet it did and he knew it too. He loved London. He knew the city well and felt at home in it, even though he was an outsider.
How could he play the American card there? Easy: just by being himself. Whether this spirit is generally true or not is neither here nor there; Harry believed it was and treated those he met as if it was.
The doors of Selfridges were open to all, everyone made to feel welcome as though invited and privileged guests. He was often on the shop floor as well to personally drive home the point, using his trademark charm and guile to flatter customers.
It worked. There was no class system inside Selfridges, no high-born and low-born worlds anymore. His commercial revolution demolished this, if only for hours at a time.
His genius, if it can be called that, and I think it can, was to create the first Disneyland before Disney existed.
Fantasyland was what you entered when you walked through the doors of Selfridges. Like Cinderella or Tinkerbell or any other would-be princess, women entered this lavish new world.
Here their dreams were not only acceptable: they were actively encouraged. This applied to anyone, men as well. Lover, adventurer, prince or princess.
You choose, or, if you need help, staff are on hand to help you decide. Brilliant, it must be said. Shopping at Selfridges required imagination.
Was he a huckster and con artist? What does it matter if on one reading, partial or not, the answer must be yes? The magic worked. The conjurer was successful.
He made people happy and they made him rich. We see in the series how kind he is to them. He wins the respect and trust of his employees and they demonstrate it through company loyalty and devotion.
There are some thieves within the company ranks, but these will be caught and dismissed leading in one case to tragedy. If not, he lives by it anyway and the staff understand the principle.
Get inside the mind of the customer. In such a case supply her needs and make her think she has discovered them herself. In this way the staff are all minor psychologists, trained by the chief himself, who is a major one.
But you do more than that: you gamble. Harry was a risk taker and had to be to succeed. He came up the hard way from scratch, from nothing.
At age 10 he delivered newspapers. By 12 he was working in a dry-goods store. At 14 he left school to work in a bank. By 18 or 19 he was finally with Marshall Field, initially as a stock boy.
But over the next 25 years he would work his way up the corporate ladder and become a junior partner in the firm, amassing a considerable personal fortune and marrying well Rose was a Buckingham, a member of one of the richest families in Chicago.
The U. It goes on beating no matter what. He was not risk averse and lived on the edge. The bigger the risk, the greater the challenge.
He seemed to court it, want it. He bought a yacht which he seldom sailed and went golfing with buddies but was bored by the whole scene. He needed something else, some magnificent dream, some new drug.
London calling? Why not? If anyone could pull off the impossible it had to be him, right? Who can doubt it? Most people sensibly prefer the comfort and security of the mass and middle.
There they feel protected. Harry was different. He loved the edge. He loved to buck convention and do things his way. Like a daredevil, he had outrageous courage and confidence.
Houdini and Lindbergh were people he admired. Lindbergh flew the Atlantic. He had no radio and, at the very last, left his cat behind instead of taking her with him.
Because he said the flight would have been too dangerous for her. How cool is that? In another incarnation Harry would have swallowed fire.
He would have been a trapeze artist or high-wire walker in a circus. As for the wire, the higher the better.
More tension, gasps, thrills. That was Harry. He loved the spotlight. Of course for those who went along with him the ride was wild.
We meet many of them here in this wonderful series: his family, friends, employees, contacts, business associates and investors. They people his world with colour and variety, lavishly bringing it to life.
Nearest to the centre of everything, meaning to Harry himself, was Rose, his long-suffering wife. What did she suffer? His infidelities with showgirls, of whom there were many; his nights at the gaming tables, where he won more than he lost; his risky ventures; the scandals and imbroglios with lawyers, journalists, politicians.
He was never an easy man and never would be. What genius ever is? Was he suicidal? But we see the pressure of the risks he takes and their psychic toll on him.
In , he married the wealthy Rose Buckingham who was from a prominent Chicago family. Selfridges, Oxford Street , opened to the public on 15 March , and Selfridge remained chairman until In , he died in London at age Within months of his birth, the family moved to Jackson, Michigan , as his father had acquired the town's general store.
He rose to the rank of major, before being honorably discharged. However, he abandoned his family, not returning home after the war ended.
This left his wife Lois to bring up three young boys. Selfridge's two brothers died at a very young age shortly after the war ended, so Harry became his mother's only child.
She found work as a schoolteacher and struggled financially to support both of them. She supplemented her low income by painting greeting cards, and eventually became headmistress of Jackson High School.
Selfridge and his mother enjoyed each other's company and were good friends; she lived with him until her death in At the age of 10, Selfridge began to contribute to the family income by delivering newspapers.
Aged 12, he started working at the Leonard Field's dry-goods store. This allowed him to fund the creation of a boys' monthly magazine with schoolfriend Peter Loomis, making money from the advertising carried within.
Selfridge left school at 14 and found work at a bank in Jackson. However, the company closed four months later, and Selfridge moved to Grand Rapids to work in the insurance industry.
Initially employed as a stock boy in the wholesale department, over the following 25 years, Selfridge worked his way up.
He was eventually appointed a junior partner, married Rosalie Buckingham of the prominent Chicago Buckinghams and amassed a considerable personal fortune.
After their marriage, the couple lived for some time with Rose's mother on Rush Street in Chicago. They later moved to their own home on Lake Shore Drive.
The Selfridges also built an imposing mansion called Harrose Hall in mock Tudor style on Geneva Lake in Wisconsin , complete with large greenhouses and extensive rose gardens.
Throughout their married life, Harry's mother, Lois, lived with the family. Selfridge or Marshall Field are usually cited as the originators of the phrase " The customer is always right.
In , Harry opened his own department store called Harry G. Selfridge and Co. However, after only two months he sold the store at a profit to Carson, Pirie and Co.
In , when Selfridge travelled to London on holiday with his wife, he noticed that although the city was a cultural and commercial leader, its stores could not rival Field's in Chicago or the great galleries of Parisian department stores.
Selfridge promoted the radical notion of shopping for pleasure rather than necessity. The store was extensively promoted through advertising.
The shop floors were structured so that goods could be made more accessible to customers. There were elegant restaurants with modest prices, a library, reading and writing rooms, special reception rooms for French, German, American and "Colonial" customers, a First Aid Room, and a Silence Room, with soft lights, deep chairs, and double-glazing , all intended to keep customers in the store as long as possible.
Staff members were taught to be on hand to assist customers, but not too aggressively, and to sell the merchandise. Oliver Lyttelton observed that, when one called on Selfridge, he would have nothing on his desk except one's letter, smoothed and ironed.
Selfridge also managed to obtain from the GPO the privilege of having the number "1" as its own phone number, so anybody had to just ask the operator for Gerrard 1 to be connected to Selfridge's operators.
