Those with a cynical view or experience of love need not bother with this movie. Those who have dreamed that love could be deep and lasting will enjoy this movie but find it unrealistic. Those who have experienced this type of love will be gratified watching this movie and will find such a love very well and accurately depicted.It is sad that the Shakespearean actor Paul Daneman, who gave such a nuanced and convincing portrayal of the middle age man whose love never ends, has recently died. His performance gave this movie its seriousness and credibility. Sharon Stone gave the performance of her life in this early film. This role provided a range of emotions and situations and she portrayed every one of them movingly and accurately. Her vivacious and multifaceted character is one every man will fall in love with.It is unfortunate for move lovers that this film was so poorly and so briefly promoted that millions who would have loved it will never see it. (A newly produced DVD will be available on Feb. 28, 2006.)

Saw this on TV and came right out at midnight to my computer to find somewhere to buy the the DVD. LOVED Christopher Cazenove and will be looking for more of his movies, and LOVED Sharon Stone's performance, also. This is the kind of movie they should be making these days. Too bad so much junk now. Just cannot say enough about Christopher Cazenove - fell in love with him myself. What a great romantic, heartwarming film. I'm easy, but I was a bit worried toward the end, but all turned out well, thankfully.I have become very much an Anglophile, as far as TV shows and movies, so this was a pleasure in that regard, also.

Ugh, this movie is SO 1988. A decent cast was wasted by a ridiculous script, and the contrived ending had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my bed watching it. What else DIDN'T these stuffy parents tell their children about their long lost love lives? They could probably film a whole 'nutter movie on the subject. Too funny. I would have loved the ending where they find out they were brother and sister; that might have added some real poignancy to the story. But the script writers copped out and came up with an hysterical solution that only a dime novel romance writer would have the audacity to write.I loved Christopher C. in Duchess of Duke Street, but this movie was badly flawed and even his talents couldn't make it better.

Quite an interesting movie with Sharon Stone in her pre-Basic Instinct days. Its a bit of an old fashioned romance where boy meets girl, but there is something mysterious about the girl's past which may end up ruining the relationship.Good acting by the mainly British cast. 6/10
