A field of purple passion..., February 11, 2009
Lucienne (Pier Angeli) and Leone (Michele Morgan) are sisters whose placid life in a vineyard is made turbulent by two Italian fugitives from the law, Mel Ferrer and John Kerr... Restraint is the keynote of their acting under Jeffrey Hayden's direction...
Pier Angeli plays the sweet and fragile innocent girl caught up with a man whose main attention is for his youngest brother... Michele Morgan plays the refined married woman turned between a jealous husband and a man wanted for murder... Leone wants to know what it is to be desired again...
Mel Ferrer is Carlo, with nothing to give 'the dark-haired, brown-eyed, Botticelli angel-faced,' Lucienne... Carlos has no roots, no job, no home...
John Kerr is Ernesto, the suffering man in trouble with the police, and in love with the intelligent-looking beauty...
Leif Erickson, Theodore Bikel and Jack Mullaney are conscience farmers at heart, bringing their energy and talent to the winer...
Filmed in CinemaScope and Technicolor, 'The Vintage' is a field of purple passion with fine tasting, graceful dancing, and breathtaking Mediterranean setting...

Hugh Jhonson Vintage, October 5, 2009
There are three different volumes showns and these remarks apply to all. I do not understand why movie actors and actresses in the discription. They have nothing to do with these tapes. These are tapes from an 1989 series run on PBS stations. Hugh Jhonson narrates the entire series. The are old but very insightful. I use portions of them in classes I teach a univesity wine course. As old as it is it is still a great set of tapes. It backs up his great book Vintage. Old is not alway bad.
