The Whales of August: DVD review
SILENT screen veteran Lillian Gish made her final screen appearance in this gentle, poignant little drama set in a picturesque vision of Maine.
Gish is a kindly, long-suffering soul who tends to her increasingly demanding blind sister, played to the hilt by Bette Davis.
The contrast in personalities and acting styles is a large part of the attraction in this overlooked Eighties drama.
Cert U, Acorn Media; DVD release
Verdict: 4/5
