12 Answers
i got totally engrossed in the film of a Town Like Alice this afternoon, the black and white version. Sadly though, I had to pick Mini Boo up from nursery and missed the ending :-(
I got as far as the women coming into a village with Japanese women in befriending them. What happend from there onwards please? Did Jean and Joe get together? And I also missed why he thought she was married?
Thanks :-)

Awww, so they got together then? Lovely, was dreading an unhappy ending.
Anyone else cry when the children died?
Why did he think she was married?
And Lottie- you aint old, just nicely preserved! ;-)

Read the book, its explains it all. As it happens, I think this is a good film adaptation, nothing like as bad as the Gregory Peck version of 'On the Beach'. If you like Nevil Shute books I would recommend these two and 'Trustee from the Toolroom' which is one of my fave books and much better than the title might suggest!
Read the book - it is just fabulous! Or if you can get hold of the BBC adaptation from a few years back that is wonderful too......
My late father's favourite author - my personal choices are Requiem for a Wren and On the Beach (have box of tissues handy) Wonderful wonderful author. In fact I think I may abandon what I am reading now and revert to Nevil..!
