A Fine Romance (Episodes 19-26) [VHS] Review
A Fine Romance (Episodes 19-26) [VHS] Overview
Do Mike and Laura appear to be in shambles in the final eight episodes of this beloved '80s Britcom starring Oscar®-winning Dame Judi Dench and her real-life husband, the late Michael Williams? Dench's Laura is much more sympathetic and vulnerable in these poignant episodes (she won Britain's equivalent of the Emmy) as she contends with Mike's reluctance to become a parent, his new girlfriend, and ultimately, his shouted marriage proposal. A final crisis involving their dream farmhouse seems to be "the final reckoning" for the luckless couple. Not to worry: A Fine Romance ends on a welcome and satisfyingly graceful note. At the heart of this low-key series are Dench and Williams's keen chemistry and the integrity of their lived-in characters, who are never sacrificed for the sake of a joke, so you won't see many big laughs here. The writing is lovely, as when at one defeated point, Laura asks Mike where he envisioned the couple would end up. "Nowhere for a long time," he replies, "and then somewhere together." Like the song says, this truly was A Fine Romance. --Donald Liebenson
