I note that IMdb lists A Village Affair at 137min, whilst the VHS/DVD version runs to only 100min.
Having seen the DVD version it does seem to me to be disjointed compared with the original TV airing.
Anyone out with any information

Excellent movie but can't be had in NTSC. IT's in PAL only, right. I saw it on i offer dot com . The movie is a good one. Shows though how selfish and childish the one character is, and also the husband. The wife seems to be the only one with any sense at all. Will have to read the book. No, didn't know the actress in this came out. Very interesting....makes one wonder if an actress/actor can be typecast after doing a movie. Or, makes one wonder if they did the movie so well, was it really acting? The British really have made so very many good movies like this one......Tipping the velvet and Fingersmith are both great ones to go along with this one. And oh, Portrait of a Marriage, if it can be found.
I too love this movie. But after reading the book I see how this movie could have been so much better. If you can get the book and read it. It is excellent. You get more background of the characters. The book is written by Joanna Trollope. She is an English writer.

Ever since I read that Sophie Ward came out as a Lesbian in the British press, I have been anxious to see her in this role of a frustrated housewife-cum-lesbian lover (pun intended!) I enjoyed this movie, and I cannot say anymore about it lest I give away the ending. Rent it if you can find it. It's worth the effort.
Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaJoan Sims was originally cast in the part of Lettice Deveral but had to withdraw from the film when she fractured a rib after falling from a bicycle whilst rehearsing a scene. The part was recast with Rosalie Crutchley.
- GoofsThe village fete has a coconut shy, where contestants try to win coconuts by dislodging them from their stands with thrown balls. However, the stall has no backing, and only a couple of yards behind it is a refreshment area with seats. Any patrons of this area would be in danger of their lives, suggesting that the placement of the shy is only cosmetic.
- Quotes
Juliet Dunne: [warning Alice about Clodagh] Just watch her, that's all. They say she's been pretty wild in her time.
Alice Jordan: Wish I'd been wild. I never had the nerve.
Juliet Dunne: That kind of nerve requires money, good schools and hordes of ancestors.
