The tape was sold as new, yet it has a loud buzz on the soundtrack and the video is also noisy, especially at the bottom. We're talking a new tape here, so it is inherent in the production, maybe? a town like alice May 24, 2009 A. Sørstrømmen (arendal, norway) We had a misunderstanding - I think. I bought a video film from someone in America - but it turns out that american videofilms are not compatible with european videoplayers ? So it does't work, I haven't seen it and I cannot really rate the item, then. Splendid May 5, 2009 Jason S. Taylor (Portland Oregon) This is a great movie. It is a long romance between two great characters. Some of the events are improbable but that is not necessarily a disadvantage if needed for the plot. The summary is that a group of English women, from the families of administrators of the local rubber plantations are taken captive by the Japanese and marched to and fro, no Japanese officer wishing to have to do with them(to be fair, they probably didn't have enough to keep their own army going). While they are in distress they meet an Australian POW, Joe Bonnock who helps them because of his attraction to Jeane Paget, one of the Englishwomen, by stealing from the Japanese. He is eventually caught and crucified. After the war, Jeane returns and comes into money. The first thing she does is go to Malaya to thank the villiage that helped her. Here she learns that Joe is still alive and so travels to the Australian Outback to meet Joe. While she is with mixed success becoming used to the local culture, Joe goes to England and meets Jeane's lawyer to find that Jeane has left. After a few weeks stay Joe returns home. Then he meets Jeane and they court in the Outback for several months. Finally they get married and live happily ever after. Much of the plot is trite and melodramatic. But the setting and the attractive and believable characters more then make up for it. Jeane's stuffy but kind lawyer, Noel also deserves mention as a sympathetic character who is attracted to Jeane(despite his age)but nonetheless helps her find Joe. The setting is some of the best parts of the movie. The jungles of Malaya is presented well, as is the Outback. The movie can drag at times-it is 301 minutes. But if you can endure, or if you watch in stages, it will be worth it. Rip off November 30, 2008 Craig R. Young 1 out of 3 found this review helpful Ordered and paid for the item. Never arrived. Amazon has done nothing. Seller doesn't communnicate. Buyer beware. A Town Like Alice - Simply Fabulous June 19, 2008 E. Cook 1 out of 1 found this review helpful I loved this series, when I first watched in on television back in the '80s. Every couple of years I pull the tape off the shelf and re-watch it. This is not just for Bryan Brown fans, but for the Gordon Jackson fans in the crowd. Jackson's portrayal of a man who falls in love too late in life, is very touching. I would love to see it available on DVD! Showing reviews 1-5 of 54 1 2 3 4 5 6 ...11 Next »
