5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful exploration of family realtionships, 11 Mar 2005

By A Customer

This review is from: The Shell Seekers [DVD] [1990] (DVD)

With a strong cast, this tale unfolds from a gentle depiction of a middle class family to a poignant study of 'hidden' family values. The drama unfolds following the discovery of the true worth of a painting and sketches by their deceased father and hidden feelings start to emerge.

Angela Lansbury in particular is superb, with the film being a visual treat and a classy tribute to Rosamund Pilcher.

1.0 out of 5 stars disappointing, if you've read the book, 26 Nov 2004

By	"jukeboxbill" - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Shell Seekers [DVD] [1990] (DVD)

If you have read the book, don't bother to buy or see this movie.
The only similarity with the book are the characters involved and the general plot.
The order of events in the book are mixed up and inaccurately misrepresented in dialog, circumstances and detail. And this is not limited to the make of the automobile.
Most annoying, for example, is the character Dolly, who is long gone in the book, but in the film still alive and looking younger than her daughter in law Penelope.
For those who have not read the book, it could be a nice film, but even then, this DVD is not recommended, because of the poor picture quality. It seems to have been copied from a duplicate or even videotape.

1.0 out of 5 stars Nothing like the book, 28 May 2009

By	Geraldine - See all my reviews

This review is from: The Shell Seekers [DVD] [1990] (DVD)

I did not enjoy the film. I found it disappointing as there were too many major discrepancies between the book and the film. If you have read the book I am sure this would irritate you as it did me. I thoroughly enjoyed the book.
