More Tales of the City | Year: 1998 Directed: - Pierre Gang Actors/Actresses: - Olympia Dukakis - Laura Linney Happily Surprised I was a bit leary of this "mini-series" because I loved the books so much, and this production replaced a couple of the lead stars from the first series. Any disappointment I felt, though, was quickly lost as I fell in love with the characters all over again, and soon forgot about the changes. What a great story with deliciously satisfying surprise turns and twists! The actors obviously relished these roles and put everything into them. Especially terrific about the DVD is the commentary from the author and stars of the series. I found it captivating--couldn't pull myself away from their stories, and can't wait to sit down and listen to them again. There's nothing like this out there. It should be part of your library! Armistead Maupin's More Tales of the City is wonderful Once again Olympia Dukakis, Laura Linney, and Barbara Garrick have done a wonderful job adapting the second novel in Armistead Maupin's Tales of the City series. This six episode edition is a journey for all characters involved. Mrs. Madrigal reveals herself to her children, especially Mona. Mary Ann gets entangled in a bizarre mystery and meets a handsome stranger. Michael finds Jon once again. Pierre Gang directs the actors wonderfully in their roles, faithfully adapting the book almost page by page. The DVD is an extraordinary 2 disc special edition with commentary from Armistead and the actors. Well worth it for any Tales fan! Fun & Exciting Plot Twists at "28 Barbary Lane" "More Tales of the City" is a fictional, 6-part mini-series exploring the lives of gay and straight residents of a San Francisco apartment house at the address "28 Barbary Lane". A sequel to the original "Tales of the City" 6-part mini-series which aired several years earlier, both are based upon a newspaper serial started in 1976 by Armistead Maupin, who later coverted it into a set of nov nd I recommend this to those who are only curious. I was not impressed with this film that is supposedly an amazing work of art. It didn't seem 'real' enough. Perhaps this movie was good at the time but it's better off that it be left there, back where it belongs.
