Product: The Shell Seekers [VHS] (1989)
Rating: 5.0
A warm, beautiful and compelling film-- not to be missed!
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. Superbly 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 message of this filmic gem can help bring healing and insight to many of today's searching "thirtysomethings". 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.
