We want this on DVD NOW!!!!
What is the problem? Not on DVD!!! This TV movie is a beautiful adaptation that was given the time (5 hours) to fully express Nevil Shute's novel of the horror of WWI and a touching love story that grew from those horrors. It may not have the greatest of productions due to the fact that it was a made-for-TV movie but the dedication of its main actors overshadow those deficiencies. For a love story to succeed I have a fairly easy test. Do I fall in love with the woman and do I wish I was the man. For this movie - definitely YES! Helen Morses's overbite is even cuter than Gene Tierneys and that's pretty hard to beat. I watch this movie once a year until now - I dumped the VCR and went to DVR. But this movie is never shown on cable and is not available on DVD. I might have to buy a VCR just to watch it this year. So PLEASE release this on DVD now!!

One of my favorite movies
Oh! how I wish this was on DVD. I love this movie, and have watched it countless times. Some day my VHS tape will break and it won't be available anymore. Please put it on DVD!
Wonderful, Inlightening, Uplifting
First shown on PBS this 5 hour miniseries is the best of what tv movies should be but seldom are. From the novel by Nevil Shute (remember On the Beach?), this story was suggested by a true occurance (in Indonesia I think) of a group of women and children who were prisioners of the Japanese during WWII. The brutal treatment they endured and what happened after the war is an amazing story of personal courage and character.
The cast of Austrailan actors, mostly unknown in the US, is excellent and the story is compelling. Most people try to watch it in installments but get caught up and just keep going. It's too bad tha Bryan Brown didn't find an audience in the US; he is excellent. Helen Morse is lovely and strong. Gordon Jackson (Upstairs Downstairs) acts as narrator and audience.

PLEASE HELP ME (and others who are interested in this film)
I have given up - at least for the time being - waiting for this series to be released In DVD format, in any Region, so have decided to but one of these used VHS versions. What I would
like
to know is whether the 2 or 3 tape versions are worth the extra money, quality-of-the print-wise, over the single tape, probably EP version, if it will only be viewed occasionally? Thanks, in advance, for any replies.
VHS a Town Like Alice
I had been looking for this out of print product to send to an ailing friend. It is a wonderful movie, a feel good movie about a strong woman character. It is a love story partly set during WWII, England and Australia. One of my favorite Movies! It arrived in great condition and fast. I was glad to find a copy.
