Greenes Please don't spend money on this.

Tedfoldol everything you have heard about this movie is true.

Kimball Exactly the movie you think it is, but not the movie you want it to be.

marilutravis My husband and I were mesmerized when we saw the BBC mini-series and kept checking to see if there was a VHS version, but alas. We are now the very proud and happy owners of a DVD version made available thru Acorn Productions. I ordered our copy thru contact@hardtofindrecordings.com Each time we watch the 4 part series, we pick up more clues. Excellent work by Mr. Mortimer and all of the actors. Unfortunately, the DVD does not give credit to all of the actors. There were bios for some actors, but not all, including Michael Pennington and others who played key roles. But on behalf of the audience -- to all of them -- BRAVO!!!!

rosy-2 This worthy PBS series is now available on DVD. I watched it back when it was on PBS and have now enjoyed watching it a second time. I remember when I first saw it, I wondered who Susan Fleetwood (Molly) was. I discovered that she was Mick Fleetwood's sister (of Fleetwood Mac fame) and sadly passed on only six years after this series was made. It is an extremely evocative mystery set in the most spectacular place. Just the scenery is enough, not to mention the fabulous house. The only thing I wish is that I understood the mystery better and what Sandra's and Buck's roles were in the water commission thing and why one of the characters was hiding out and had to die!

jhigginbottom I'm writing on behalf of my elderly Mother In Law (86)who has lost her one and only copy of Summer's Lease.By way of background I should explain that to my ongoing regret I inadvertently taped over her VHS copy - unfortunately - it was not `record' protected.I have explored a number of obvious avenues but have not been able to track down a copy. Apparently, it is not available on video and as far as I know it has not been repeated on free to air TV in Australia since it was first shown. The ABC originally ran it about 10 years ago which was when my MIL taped her personal copy.In order to restore my credentials with my MIL (and family harmony!) I am desperately looking to beg, borrow or buy a copy.I would be grateful if anyone knows where I can obtain a copy - preferably in VHS PAL.

ggfinn John Mortimer has a slightly wicked sense of humour, well demonstrated in this superbly written and acted work. Not likely to be enjoyed by the non-literate or younger adult, but a treasure for the middle-aged parent. Humor, conflict, sex and mystery are all here in pleasing proportion.Gielgud plays a randy, pseudo-socialist grandfather. His character and lines allow him to steal the show. Susan Fleetwood as mother and grandaughter gives a standout performance as well, overshadowed only by Gielgud's wonderful material and skills.Great television is alive and doing well in Britain. It is sad that so few people have had a chance to see this work. It appears to be unavailable for purchase. Those fortunate enough to have made a copy when it ran on PBS, please share it with your friends.
