About The Other Side of Midnight

You've probably seen comedies that won't make you laugh as hard as this deadly serious soap opera, drawn from the overheated oeuvre of literary shlockmeister Sidney Sheldon. Marie-France Pisier plays a poor little French girl who is seduced and abandoned and seduced and abandoned during World War II--until she finally figures out that she can profit from her body. She sleeps her way to stardom on the silver screen, then reinvolves herself with an American cad (John Beck) and gets him to kill his lovably obtuse rich wife (Susan Sarandon). You'll be howling. The Other Side of Midnight is a movie that defines the term "unintentionally funny." --Marshall Fine Amazon.com

The Other Side of Midnight is a great story of innocence lost, betrayal, lust and revenge. Brilliant actors and a real twist at the end. Highly recommend it.

I had seen this movie many years ago and thoroughly enjoyed it....not being able to purchase it here in Australia a friend suggested I try Amazon.com...Much to my delight, you had this movie available. I have used this site a number of times and will continue to do so in the future. Excellent packaging and prompt delivery. Thank you one and all...Sincerely Faith Laughren January 6, 2009

I READ THE BOOK BY SIDNEY SHELTON IN THE EARLY 1970'S AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE BOOK I COULDNT PUT IT DOWN. WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN I WATCHED THE MADE FOR TELEVISION MINI-SERIES. BROUGHT THE VHS WHEN IT BECAME AVAILABLE. AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE DVD SINCE VHS WENT OUT OF STYLE BUT WHEN I HAD CHECKED EARLIER THIS YEAR ALL I COULD FIND WAS THE OVERSEAS VERSION. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO FIND IT IS NOW ON DVD. IF YOU ENJOY A LOVE STORY WITH A SURPRISE TWIST AT THE END THEN THIS IS A MOVIE CHOICE FOR YOU....ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! November 21, 2008

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! July 5, 2008
