 From the Golden Age of TV October 8, 2009
William Condie (Lake Worth, FL)
I just watched this Australian TV classic again, on a home-made DVD conversion from a VCR.
Despite the poorish quality, it is still one of the best movies ever made, much-much better than the English movie version.
It truly begs to be released as a re-mastered DVD
Ignoring the customer April 29, 2009
Beverly M. Carl (Santa Fe,New Mexico,US)
When, o when, will the industry respond to the customer's wishes ! I have wanted this movies for ages and almost ordered it. Then I read the reviews and found it was not the Masterpiece Theatre version. A while back I bought a region free Sony player so I could enjoy things like this. Now they are zapping us again. Another dirty trick they are playing is selling "region enhanced" which nullifies the usefulness of our new region free players. What Crooks--they are ripping off the public.
 Masterpiece one better by far March 2, 2009

This version is so bad! Save your money and buy the Masterpiece one starring Helen Morse and Bryan Brown - my favorite movie and book can't count the times I've read it, watched it and loved it!! These are people of substance and real romance not the trash they put out now!
Would like to give this 20 stars June 30, 2006

This is without a doubt my favorite book and movie. Watch the movie at least twice each year and never grow tired of the magnificnet writing. Wanted so much for "Mrs Bone" to love her Attorney, which she did, but not in the way he
would have liked. But also knew her heart was with the rough and tough man
she married and tamed. Seldom have I enjoyed a book so much and then when I first was introduced to the movie, could not believe how heart wrenching and
brave these people were. Need more people like this is the world but afraid our
strength has faltered since WW2.

A Msterpiece Theatre TV mini-series of the Nevil Shute story makes most war dramas since sloppy and unrealistic (U-571). This short novel send-up was the real deal, starring many fine actors, both Japanes and British. Told in flashback to Harry Andrews, the romantic leads are Helen Morse and a new-comer, Bryan Brown. What is missing today in any Hollywood love story is the struggle, sacrifice and testingt of potential partners dramatized throughout this series. The tension of the unselfish pair, builds to s surprise climax, but you would lose considerable enjoyment if you miss any of the realistic events that tested their resilience and courage, both the captors and the captives, when war intervenes. Well-rounded characters throughout this landscape of despair, suffering and hopefulness. A shame to be shelved this long not on DVD. Think of "Bridge on the River Kwai" with romance too.
