I also had taped this when it was originally on A&E. I watched it so often that I think I wore the tape out. Sterling performances by the cast. I think that this is a magnificent example of how a movie can absolutely totally romantic without being cloying and very sexually charged without anyone taking a stitch off. Tim Pigot-Smith has been in many movies but his performance here was so sympathetic... the total opposite of his Jewel in the Crown role. Jane Freeman is seen as Ivy in Last of the Summer Wine which we watch nightly on PBS. It's fun to catch earlier performances by familiar faces.I wish that this were available on DVD today. I'd buy it in a heartbeat. Does anyone know if a DVD of it will be produced?
