Product Description

Viewers adored this televised adaptation of Armistead Maupin's first Tales book; critics wrote reviews that read like love letters. Small wonder. It's an education-of-the-heroine drama with engaging characters, sophisticated dialogue, unexpected plot twists, wit, wisdom, and a drop-dead glamorous setting-San Francisco's Russian Hill neighborhood during the freewheeling 1970s. Laura Linney (You Can Count on Me) plays Mary Ann, a guileless young woman looking for love in peculiar places. Olympia Dukakis (Mr. Holland's Opus) and Donald Moffat (Cookie's Fortune) are among the offbeat inhabitants of her new world. 5-1/2 hours on 2 DVDs.
