Maidgethma Wonderfully offbeat film!

Develiker terrible... so disappointed.

Ameriatch One of the best films i have seen

KnotStronger This is a must-see and one of the best documentaries - and films - of this year.

aarron waite I had never heard of this one until a few months ago when Network announced they were releasing it. Hosted by Laurence Olivier it's a very simple yet compelling three part drama focused around Mary MacNeil. The first episode focuses on her relationship with her father (played by Sean Connery) who has a tendency to lie all the time. In the second Michael Caine plays an office Romeo who she tries to teach a lesson to for his ways but it backfires on her when she realises he isn't the slime-ball she thought he was and the third stars Paul Scofield in the role of a smooth talking barrister who manages to woo her.I see there are plenty or reviews on here from people wanting to see this again, well now they can thanks to this release from Network in the U.K.

vjbess When The Male of the Species aired, I was a college student, home on vacation, and watched with my mother. We were positively glued to the TV set. Sean Connery, known at that time (1969) to American audiences only as 007 in the early James Bond films, showed a bit of his acting range to good advantage. Michael Caine had a big hit in the USA a few years earlier with Alfie, but it was this television role that made him one of my favorite actors. If you were to ask me about any other television shows, specials, or series from 1967-1971 I would be hard pressed to come up with even one. If anyone can find a tape of this outstanding show, please make it available for airing or for purchase!! I believe James Mason was also in this one, in a small role at the end...can anyone confirm?

judithbush I also saw Male of the Species once as a teenager and I have never forgotten the movie or how enchanted I was with Michael Caine. I remember it being funny, sad, and terribly romantic. I always wished I could have seen it again. If ever it is released on DVD, run to the nearest store and buy it. I know I will.

scheiman I believe the actress was British actress Jill Haworth, who briefly dated Paul McCartney of the Beatles. I too would love to own this title on VHS.Linda Scheimann
