Butterflies (1978)
A glistening gem among the sitcoms.
Far superior to the majority of sitcoms, "Butterflies" is a gentle, subtle, elegant delight. It tells the story of Ria (Wendy Craig) - a middle aged housewife with a family who becomes friends with a loveable, self-indulgent businessman but cannot take the relationship any further due to her loyalty to her husband. Much of the programme deals with her dreamy, wistful nature which results in a few overcooked meals. The acting by the three leads is superb. Geoffrey Palmers conservative manner and appearance maker him perfect as Ria's conventional dentist husband and Wendy Craig's charm and grace make 'Ria' especially sympathetic. Sometimes philosophical, sometimes poetic, "Butterflies" should be adored by a discerning audience.
Seven Nights in Japan (1976)
Worthwhile viewing.
Allegedly based on another Prince, "Seven Nights in Japan", the story of Prince George should not disappoint fans of romantic cinema. The actress that plays the Princes love interest (Sumi) is sweet and beautiful and Michael York is in his prime. Highlights include Sumi singing Japanese love songs as a bus tour guide and the beautiful country locales. A gentle, elegant film.
