Finally on DVD!One of the greatest lesbian love stories of all time, Portrait of a Marriage is finally available on DVD in a gorgeous must-own special edition. This lush BBC drama was a massive hit on the gay and lesbian film festival circuit in the early ’90s but has remained unreleased until now.
