Product Review : A Town Like Alice
| 6 of 6 people found the following review helpful  One of the finest of WWII stories, By A Customer This review is from: A Town Like Alice (VHS Tape) This may be one of the finest stories set in WWII that I have ever seen. Based on the wonderful novel by Nevil Shute, it tells the story of Jean Paget and Joe Harmon in Malaya after the invasion by the Japanese. Only 19, Jean is living with her brother on a rubber plantation when their world comes to an end with the "impossible" arrival of the Japanese army. The men are sent to labor camps where her brother ultimately dies building the railway. There is no prison camp for the women or children and the Japanese solve the problem by sending them on forced marches from place to place, eventually covering hundreds of miles and the deaths of more than half the women. Jean looks after a young family whose older children die followed by the mother. She ends up with a baby who remains remarkably healthy. On the other end of the island they run into two Austrialian POWs who drive trucks for the Japanese. They enjoy risking their lives to find soap, medicine and food for...

This riveting movie is the finest in spite of its enormous length. Never once did it get boring. So far, it is tragic that this epic hasn't arrived in DVD format. We have a VHS copy in great condition thank goodness. If you can rent this movie, take the time to be comfortable and relaxed. The many twists and turns to the plot are never the same. This movie makes "Zhivago" look like a warm-up. Too bad quality efforts as in "Alice..." aren't produced more often. Bryan Brown is the best known actor and there is nothing that he has done since that compares to his complex character role in this movie.DVD please!!!! 3 of 3 people found the following review helpful One of my all-time faves, By This review is from: A Town Like Alice (VHS Tape) Joe Harmon (played by Bryan Brown) rocks! And so does this whole movie, based on Nevil Shute's superb novel of the same name. It starts well, picks up speed, and gets better and better. During WWII, Jean (who is her family's only survivor) is force marched back and forth across Malaysia by the Japanese, who don't know what to do with a bunch of English women and children. As their group dwindles from starvation, fatigue, malaria and dystntery, Jean becomes the leader of the little group, and she negotiates a deal with the headman of a small village whose men have been taken off to fight in the war: if the village will shelter them, the surviving English will work in the rice fields.But it was during the months of wandering that Jean met Joe Harmon, an Austrailian prisoner of war who steals food for her, is crucified and left for dead by the Japanese. After the war, when Jean is back in England, she comes into her family's money, and she has a dream: to return to Malaya to... Read more |
