GREAT MOVIE.......2006-12-09

A mother's sacrafice to keep her children happy without them taking into consideration their mother's happiness or appreciation for her love. I enjoyed this movie.

Beware, PAL.......2006-07-14

Some sellers are selling the PAL version of this DVD under this heading of Region 1. Unless you can play PAL, avoid.

The most notorious of these, caiman, even refuses to give a refund or an exchange for YOUR mistake in having ordered a PAL version.

Enjoyable yet unpretentious.......2005-10-13

Angela Lansbury does a wonderful job at protraying this character. Set in great locations that make the story more believable. No movie ever lives up to what a book can deliver in feeling and detail but this comes pretty close. I enjoyed the complex relationships between mother and children. They ring so true, using my family and other families I know as a guide. Forget those that say this is nothing like the book or give it only one or two stars. This movie does stand on it's own and the acting is great.

I had read the book and enjoyed it. The movie followed the story line in a believable manner.

A beautiful, warm, and compelling film, THE SHELL SEEKERS is one of television's few genuine film masterpieces. Originally produced as a Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation, this absorbing and all too human drama deserves much more widespread attention.

Though it may not follow the book in every respect, it nonetheless stands on it's own. (And --please!--readers
of the book should ALLOW it to stand on it's own, as any film is meant to do, judging it on IT'S OWN merits and not against their memory of the book!)

Well written and beautifully filmed, it features outstanding performances by a well rounded cast of uniformly excellent actors, not the least of whom is star Angela Lansbury.

In a day in which grown children find it all too easy to blame their parents for every childhood shortcoming, the warmth, compassion, and uplifting message of this filmic gem can help bring healing and insight to many of today's
searching "thirtysomethings". This isn't just a movie, it's a healing and enlightening experience. It can also
bring encouragement and support to today's "sixty-somethings" who have felt the brunt of false guilt and
undeserved criticism from ungrateful offspring.

Unavailable on television or video for many years, truly this is a film not to be missed. It's a beautiful, poignant video that belongs in every family's video library.
