Excellent, smart action film.
Don't Believe the Hype
There is, somehow, an interesting story here, as well as some good acting. There are also some good scenes
View MoreI saw this for the first time when I was six or seven, and the memory of it really stuck with me, since we didn't have too many TV programs in Romania, back then.I actually remember Hugh Grant's character being evil (think it was his only evil character) and how he (spoiler) collaborated with the Nazis... And I remember the girls, I especially liked Delphine (whenever I - rarely - see Mia Sara in something, I think about this role). Weirdley, Courtney Cox's face didn't ring a bell years later, when I got to see "Friends".I saw it six or seven times I think, there were years when mini-series were 'en vogue', but thinking of it now, I imagine it was pretty melodramatic. I'd love to see it again, though, and I hope I'd be pleasantly surprised.
View MoreI watched this when I was quite small as an English channel showed this as a tele-series back in the late 80's or beginning of the 90's in Sri Lanka....There's not many that I've watched that has been able to take a special person in my memory.... but this was one greaaaaaaat series that I looked forward to seeing every week when it was running in episodes...To think that I remembered the name upto date and to think that I fell for Hugh Grant at a very young age, when other of my age hardly knew that such a character existed, is amazing... when I read through the cast, I even remembered that his role was "Bruno".Whats even more surprising is my sudden remembrance of the series in 2004... so many years after watching it for the first time... and this is very reason I'm here seated in front of the comp taking time off a pretty busy schedule to give my thoughts on it....I simply loved it... and thumbs up for the director of the series and the author (judith krantz) both : ). Pls make more of this kind... so that my daughter would be able to enjoy something similar : )
View MoreWell, I thought this was quite good. As a rule, TV mini-series can be pretty hit-and-miss, but I was pleasantly surprised by this one.A good pre-Friends performance from Courteney Cox, who proves that she can act and a brilliant cast on the whole. Isn't Barry Bostwick just dreamy??Anyway, if you want to see one book adaptation, then see this one! Go on! See it!
View MoreThis is definitely the best movie I have ever seen! It was great to see all the celebrities in the late 80's! Especially Courteney Cox! Barry Bostwick was also one of the best actors in the movie! All the romance and passion is definitely there! If you ever get the chance to see it, don't let the experience slip away from you!
