ROMANCE

I HAD FORGOTTEN ABOUT THIS TV MOVIE. I WAS VERY SURPRISED IN HOW MUCH I ENJOYED IT. THE ACTING WAS GOOD AND I WAS TRAPPED IN THE STORY. SIDNEY SHELDON WAS THE TOPS IN POOR MISUNDERSTOOD YOUNG MAIDEN THAT REALLY MEANS GOODS, BUT JUST CANT SEEM TO GET THERE.
THE PICTURE QUALITY IS VERY GOOD AS IS THE SOUND. SO MANY OF THE NEW STUFF THE MUSIC IS SO LOUD YOU CANT HEAR WHAT THE POEPLE ARE SAYING. THIS MOVIE IS EDITED VERY WELL AND DID NOT STRAY FROM THE PLOT.

Memories of Midnight

It was very exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed Memories of Midnight.

Marty Parsons

A definitive classic

An absolute must-see. Noelle has been sold to the concubines(sp) by her parents to help make ends meet, sleeping her way to the top as a high fashion model. The setting for this motion picture is lovely Paris (very plush budget too for this film).

This drama is extremely addictive & the viewer's attention is easily held by the plot which gradually unfolds. Noelle falls in love with an american soldier whom soon has to go off to war but promises to return & ends up abandoning her, breaking his promise & Noelle's heart. Meanwhile, she becomes pregnant with his child which adds an interesting twist to the story.

I don't want to give too much away & spoil it, but seeing this film is imperative to lovers of good drama & tearjerker/woman-scorned cinema. The greatest work of Sidney Sheldon in my opinion. A brilliant masterpiece of great proportions. If I could give it ten stars, I would! Highly recommended!

Obsession

What a treat to reflect on Susan Sarandon's early film career. Made 30 years ago, this film is one of the early successes that launched her career. We find young American pilot in Paris during the WWII. He has enrolled in Canadian airforce to fight against the enemy at the time when US is not involved in a war. During his stay in Paris, our officer meets Noelle, Parisian beauty who madly falls in love with him not realizing that she is only one of his many flings along the way. Soon, her lover leaves her alone in Paris with false promise of return. As she learns she is pregnant and realizes that her love is not coming back, she undergoes self-inflicted abortion and sets to establishing herself as a model and actress while tracing every move her former lover makes. In the meantime, her lover is back in US where he meets young newspaper reporter Catherine (Sarandon) and marries her. As war is over, he has difficulty finding employment in part due to his inability to adjust to a civilian life. By this time, Noelle is famous actress in relationship with wealthy Greek businessman. She plots to get her lover back and in order to have him close to her life, she gets him hired as a private pilot for her own plane. At that point on, obsession takes over. Their self destructive desire to be together, opens the door to the worst in them. People around them do not matter any more. What matters is that they remain together at any price. But that desire is the beginning of their own destruction. Marie-France Pisier in her role of Noelle is famme fatale - beauty beyond words. After being used by many men, including her own father, she is unstoppable in geting what she really wants.

They Don't Make 'Em Like This Anymore

Although not as racey as the novel, and now over two decades old, "The Other Side of Midnight" remains one of my all time favorites. This movie leaves all that watch it thinking and talking and shaking their heads in yummy disbelief. (I dare not give away, too much. Okay, I'll give you a litte..) This is mostly bacause of the leading lady, Noel Page, who is a tragic, lovable, beautiful, powerful, victim turned ice-woman. Equally, the other minor characters are well developed with their own interesting interal and external lives. The movie is a bit slow in the beginning but once you get into it, you're with it for the long haul. This is great movie to watch with friends who've never seen it because it is so provocative, complex, clever and unpredicatble. What a plot Sydney Sheldon wove! This one is old but not cold by any means.
