More Tales Of The City is nothing more or less than six hours of fully outrageous coincidence with some of the most charming characters. A 1970's visual nostalgia of glittering and addictive comedy. That has developed an almost cult like following. The lovelorn residents of 28 Barbary Lane include the bewildered but aspiring Mary Ann Singleton; the libidinous Brian Hawkins; Mona Ramsey, still in a sixties trance; Michael "Mouse" Toliver in bright eyed pursuit of Mr. Right; and their marijuana growing landlady, the indefatigable Mrs. Madrigal. Thrown into the mix you have other exciting characters such a Mother Mucca an elderly madam of a Brothel; DeDe Day who is expecting twins (but they are not her husbands) and her mother Frannie who is inducted into a sex club for women over 60 called Pinus. It's an addictive miniseries of light amusement and mystery all dressed up in 1970's kitsch. (official distributor synopsis)
