Till We Meet Again

Well, 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!

The saga of the French family de Lancel, since 1910 until the end of the Second World War, is not a bad movie. The video released in Brazil has two and half hours runtime, and the story has all the ingredients of a soap-opera: love, hate, betrayal, rape, war, death, birth etc. There are too much characters, and they are reasonably well developed in a shallow way. Michael York and Hugh Grant, with their strong British accent, are hard to be accepted as French. But Courtney Cox and Hugh Grant in the beginning of their career have a great performance and hook the attention of this romance. The careful production and the selection of good cast and landscapes are also good points in this movie. My vote is six.

I 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 : )

This drama is the kind you see once and it would stuck for very long time. I watched it when I was like 12 years old...it was in early 90's and the story still stuck.

It actually had very good plot and many great characters, but I guess because a mini-series it too soon. Many of the characters had potential, but underdeveloped- maybe because it had to short. But I still have to admit story itself flow nicely, it makes sit till the end and wait for next episode. Courteney Cox did great in this film. I really love her character, Freddy. And Hugh Grant...gotta love him in here.

I really wish this mini-series would be release again in DVD- I definitely will buy it. Personally I'm not a fan of romance-flick, but still this one I made exception.

This made-for-TV movie was so good that 11 years after having watched it I still can't get it out of my mind. The songs were evocative of the World War II era, Courtney Cox played her role brilliantly, and the film/story was inspirational for young women considering non-traditional jobs. Judith Krantz can be justly proud of having written the story, and the film makers did a wonderful job of adapting the book to a movie. What a shame that it is not out on VHS, nor is the soundtrack available (to the best of my knowledge).
