Underrated movie. I agree with a NY Times description as a Kurosowa Roshoman exersize in Trueth. Very perceptive performances all over, especially important the male actors; their subtle rationalizations to themselves and each other led to their group rape of her. This was rape! To describe the theme as female empowerment is superficial. Ms Quinlans performance was crucial and dead on ...innocense, trust and enthusiasm were crushed. These men were her co workers/friends."This above all else my son to thine own self be true.." how often have we all stepped over that line. Take a couple of steps back and observe our own whisperrings to ourselves. Good film; a "contemporary" Roshamon.

The Doors (Sat Aug 25, 2007 12:28am ET)report post
by Raj
Kathleen ran (occasionally) in a crowd on the West Side that I ran in (occasionally) in the '70s. Most of us were trend-obsessed, materialistic, pseudo-together and clueless. She seemed to be -none- of the above, and actually an embodiment of the objectivism we all -claimed- we were into. One of the other women (a big leaguer, herself) thought Miss Q and I would be a nice fit and sought to prod us together, but I knew better even then. (I think I would have been about as interesting to her as a dogsled ride through the Bronx.)

I clawed at my scalp for quite a while when I saw her in "The Doors," however. The character was soooooooooooooooo unlike the "her" I'd ever seen, but seemed so drawn from personal experience. A real "actor" is a real "actor," I guess.

I loved that movie. I managed to get it on vhs when it was out. I have since then put it on dvd so it will not fade or anything. I love that movie with a passion.

I too saw The Promise and was taken aback by the story, the acting, and the beautiful people in the movie. Kathleen Quinlan is a true artist. The movie was a truly wonderful experience.

From Lifeguard to The Doors (Tue Sep 23, 2003 5:28am ET)report post
by Terrence Parkhurst
I first remember seeing Kathleen Quinlan in a movie called "The Lifeguard" wherein which she played a 16 year old with a crush on a lifeguard, portrayed by Sam Elliott. She was, in fact, 22 years old at the time but she played the part with a kind of understated senuous quality and a sadness. Of all the women in the film, she seemed to understand the main character best, but was too young for him. It was an interesting role. By the time she played a journalist who had an affair with Jim Morrison in "The Doors" Kathleen Quinlan had shown she has talent and an appeal that is timeless. "Apollo 13" was the proverbial icing on the cake. As she ages, I believe we can look forward to perhaps some of the most interesting work of her career.

I saw a Kathleen Quinlan movie in the late 70's that I believe was called "THE GIFT" or maybe it was "THE GIFT OF LOVE", but she played a car crash victim who agreed to end her love affair with the son of a wealthy family who didn't want her in the "clan". It was a really good film, and I can't believe nobody on "Filmbug" is even aware of this movie. Where can I get a copy of it? Why don't you recognize it? I know I am not imagining this movie, I remember it well.

My mother and I used to watch the movie
The Promise a million times. We just happened
to record it one night it played on T.V. when
I was a teenager. We still say that movie is
one of our favorites. Kathleen has such a
classic style like no other actress.

I believe the name of the movie was "The Promise". The lead guy from the show Seventh Heaven Stephen Collins played her boyfriend in the movie. It was a great flick, just one among all of her great movies. You can probably find the movie still at a Suncoast Video store. Good Luck...Judi
