Careful He Might Hear You – Wendy Hughes DVD

$9.90

His mother dead, PS lives in Sydney with working-class Aunt Lila and Uncle George. When he’s six or eight, his posh Aunt Vanessa descends from England. Named a co-guardian by PS’s feckless, absent father, she asserts her rights and convinces Lila to have PS live with her weekdays. PS is happy at Lila’s, playing with children, running about, speaking up. At Vanessa’s, there’s a regimen of private school, round vowels, piano and riding lessons, and lonely indoor play with fancy toys. He’s miserable and when he objects, she sues for complete custody. Will anyone listen to him? And will he take on Vanessa’s challenges to find out who he is and to love someone?

Description

In the turbulent years of the Great Depression an orphaned boy becomes a pawn in a bitter family feud as two aunts–snooty Anglophile Vanessa (Wendy Hughes) and working-class Lila (Robyn Nevin)–battle for his custody. Newly returned from a world tour, wealthy socialite Vanessa lavishes the boy with gifts, limousine rides, and affection but the dowdy Lila is determined to fight her sister’s custody claims in court. The case is complicated by the arrival of the boy’s long-absent father, Logan (John Hargreaves), an alcoholic who loves his son but is incapable of caring for him.
