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.
