Daisies in December Trailers

A seaside hotel for senior citizens is the setting for late-season love as costars Jean Simmons and Joss Ackland meet and make a match in this romantic human drama. Gerald's a stuffy ex-stockbroker who's been placed in the facility for his own best interest. Katherine's a warm and friendly resident with a soaring spirit and a zest for life. Their union is a transforming one, and also timely, as Katherine stands on the threshhold of a painful and very frightening battle with cancer. Poignant storytelling with a winning pair of costars.

When I read all the reviews of this movie from people who it has affected for the better, I really cannot understand why it hasn't been marketed as a DVD. I agree with pretty much the whole world who agree this is a gem of a movie, with the two main characters played by a beautiful older Jean Simmons and a rugged but ultimately charming, and charmed Joss Acland. I have been to St Ives and even stayed at the Hotel just to experience a tiny moment of the magic this Movie engenders. I shall love it and miss it forever, Ithink, and I,m not a sentimental old fool, just old! I understand that this movie was a 'made for TV' production but so too were many other BBC productions, like truly madly, deeply which went on to be a huge box office hit and is available readily on DVD. Surely the BBC are missing a trick here, judging by the demand for a rerun which this Movie has had. So I say, bring it on BBC and lets keep your worldwide audience happy. Surely the great and beautiful British actress Jean Simmons, now sadly no longer with us, not only would approve but we owe this to her memory....one of the best movies she ever made, and I,m including the likes of The Big Country in that list!

I saw Daises In December when it was shown the first time on TV. I fell in love with it. I was lucky enough to catch it again and recorded it. I enjoyed viewing it a number of times. I would often watch it when I could not sleep,,,, or after a particularly bad day. That lovely movie about an unlikely love gave me hope that one day I will find someone. THEN DISASTER STRUCK!!!! My son grabbed a tape one day without seeing if anything was listed on the case and recorded over it! I wanted to kill him! That was definitely a sad day. I have been searching for someone else who may have recorded it for a number of years. If anyone has recorded it and would be willing to share it would be greatly appreciated. evelyn

This is my favourite film of all time. A simple yet wonderful story which is set in St Ives in Cornwall and based around the Tregenna Castle hotel overlooking St Ives bay. My parents stayed at the hotel whilst filming took place. I have made every effort to get a copy of this film without success as I taped over my copy!! The film, as I have said, is a simple yet heart warming tale of older love and the story becomes very poignant as the film progresses. The music score is also excellent and fits in with the film perfectly. Joss Ackland and Jean Simmons are cast wonderfully and the location just adds to the feel of the film. The film was made for the American market but was shown by the BBC here in the UK. This is a true Sunday afternoon film.

I think this movie "Daisies in December" was one of the most enjoyable movies I have seen. It was funny, sad, romantic. Just a "heart warming" story.I wonder if it is possible to purchase this movie on Video?I work as a nurse in an Aged Care Hostel, I would Just love to be able to obtain a copy to show to my residents. I am sure most of them could relate to it,in "one way or an other"Having worked in this setting, has helped me appreciate this movie even more. I is so much more difficult for men to settle into these situations, more so than women. Daisies in December portrayed the whole story so beautifully,Nola
