Product Description
This is the second version of A TOWN LIKE ALICE made for T.V and starring Bryan Brown and Helen Morse.The film is approx.5 hours 3minutes long and was available on 3 different formats. The most common was the 3 tape box set but issued mostly on the American NTSC system. Also issued was the 2 tape set and a single tape which is on long play.Never released onto DVD this was a very collectable video at one time. Filmed in Australia the picture quality lacks sharpness and is quite a light film. Still one of the best war/love stories to come out of Australia and must rank amongst the best.

5 out of 5 stars This prodution deserves to be put on DVD   October 31, 2008

The book is very good and quite a romantic story set in harsh times. Although the movie of the fifties is quite good, I find this Australian production even better. It would be great to have it on DVD suitable for various regions, so that we all can enjoy this excellent aussie classic. I did ask the ABC shops, they knew the story, but it was not in stock, or available in any form.

This version of A Town Like Alice the second adapted screen offering of the 1950 novel by the English author Nevil Shute.

In 1981, A Town Like Alice was adapted into a popular television miniseries, starring Helen Morse and Bryan Brown(with the late Gordon Jackson as Noel Strachan). It was broadcast internationally: in the United States, it was shown as part of the PBS series Masterpiece Theatre.

Previously filmed in 1956 with Virginia McKenna and Peter Finch.

This is now considered one of the best aussie dramas of the 80's and has yet to be put onto DVD....
