The Other Side of Midnight (1977)

MY FAVORITE MOVIE

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

Memories of Midnight

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! July 5, 2008

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. June 11, 2008
