Two feisty, free-spirited women are connected by the brilliant, charismatic poet who loves them both.  The passion and pathos of legendary poet Dylan Thomas is told through the lives of two extraordinary women.  Desire and guilt are complicated by love and friendship in this real life tale set in London and the Welsh countryside.

Some Members' Comments:

Exhausting - feel like I was there!
Harrowing, but brilliant.
What a disgusting poet!
And there was even a hint of a Welsh accent.
Very enjoyable starstudded story.
Brilliant acting - lovely film.
Not enough sex!
Wonderful to see an intelligent film!
I cried a little!  Paricularly like the grpahic matching of the birth/amputation sequence.

Couldn't quite believe in Dylan Thomas - good period stuff.
Very powerful.
Entertaining, but that's all.
Good entertainment - he doesn't come out of it well.
Atmospheric and highly charged.
Hated her singing.
Not very credible at all.
Worthless people.

Boring - they are all too beautiful - prefer Japanese chaos.
The edge of a story.
False, inaudible.
Film making and film score by numbers - thank goodness Jerry didn't torpedo the tobacco ships.
