Search - Quest For Love on DVD

This movie came from a book entitled "Consider Her Ways & Others" by John Wyndham. The book is a collection of 6 short stories, several offering differing twists on individuals slipping through time and the social effects of such on their own lives and others. I do find that Wyndham in general may not have aged as well as some other Scifi writers. His stories contain many reference points to the decades he wrote and those relevance factors can be somewhat tedious now, even meaningless. That said, these factors do tend to make one ruminate over the current life we are living too.

Wyndham is definitely an accomplished author. His writing style and plot structures are engaging and cerebral in these short stories. Would recommend a cup of coffee when reading. One of the short stories "Random Quest" was made into a movie starring Joan Collins, and this is it: "Quest for Love". It's pretty good. Another one of those Love and the Time Traveller movies. Used to only be bootlegs available. I noticed that Prime has a newer BBC version of the story available under the original title: "Random Quest". Haven't seen this yet. Also, "Consider Her Ways" was an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour in 1964.
