About this product

Product Information

Set against the brutal chaos of World War II, a love story begins that will take two lovers through a living nightmare of captivity, across three continents and two decades. From the steamy jungles of Malaya to the dusty and desolate outback of Australia. Based on Nevil Shute's international bestselling novel A TOWN LIKE ALICE follows the lives of Jean Paget (Helen Morse) and Joe Harman (Bryan Brown). Meeting in Malaya - she an attractive young English captive and he a cheerful Australian POW tortured for a simple act of kindness. Separated first by their captors then by the distance of passing years, the two are finally reunited in the rugged outback of Australia-to face a challenge every bit as demanding as their wartime trials.

  • Well worth watching

    Not only a beautiful love story but also a look at life in the outback of Australia. Everything was covered - the pub, the dust, flooding, mustering, Flying Doctor Service in those post war planes. It was so well done I could almost feel the flies on me. Great characters very engaging.

  • A Town Like Alice

    Each disc skipped but was watchable. Had to restart and fast forward a few times on each one so disappointed. It was better than some older copies.
