Rating: - A Town Like Alice - Simply Fabulous
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!

It's an utter shame that this hasn't yet been done considering all the crap that lives on DVD. Yeah... I'm bitter!!!
I just watched my purchased single VHS cassette that I acquired around the same time I wrote that first online review. Except THIS time, I made my husband watch it with me! Over the course of two nights, I re-visited my beloved old friend of a film while much to my joy, my husband watched it, was taken in, and ultimately (to his chagrin)... really ended up liking it!
