This 1981 Australian TV mini-series was shown on PBS' Masterpiece Theater back in the 80s and was an instant favorite of ours. We had recorded it on VHS tape back then, but over 40 years the tape eventually went bad and we thought we had lost "A Town Like Alice" forever. This newly-released DVD version is a blessing. The Neville Shute tale of a woman whose tragic experience as a POW of the Japanese in Malaya led her to meet a man she would fall in love with is beautifully directed and acted. Helen Morse, Bryan Brown and Gordon Jackson are perfectly cast in this tender and uplifting love story. We were especially pleased that this Australian-made disk worked on our DVD player. It is a film that bears repeat viewings.

This is an inspiring story with several memorable characters. It's much better than the 1956 version. The DVD played just fine.
