Product: The Shell Seekers [VHS] (1989)
Rating: 4.0
A pleasant way to spend and afternoon...
I have read Rosamunde Plicher's novel THE SHELL SEEKERS seven times, and the movie brought the characters alive for me. Anglela Lansbury played the aging though vibrantant and sensitive Penelope Keeling perfectly. The other characters were also cast quite well. I felt the movie was a terrific representation of a very well written novel. As always it is difficult to fit every tid bit into a movie to make it exactly like a book, but this movie comes close to being as moving as the novel.
