Dancing at the Harvest Moon

I was so excited when I saw that the book "Dancing at the Harvest Moon" was being made for tv. When I first read the book I immediately loved it. Unfortunately, I was extremely disappointed with the tv version. The people who made it just couldn't capture the greatness of the book. If you even remotely liked the tv movie...Read the book it's a million times better.

Quite an enjoyable film, showing that some young men are mature and smart enough to fall in love with an "older" woman. I really enjoyed the pretense, but felt that Jacqueline must have been as much uncomfortable with embracing and kissing Eric as her character, Maggie was. Eric, on the other hand, seemed to have no problems at all with the chemistry that he was portraying towards Maggie, as John. Some of you who think this type of story is fantasy should read what Andy Rooney has said about relationships with "older" women. ;-) Sure hope to see much more of Eric Mabius in the very near future!!!! Wouldn't mind seeing him at my front door either!

This was a perfect movie for a group of middle aged women to watch on a cold snowy day at the cottage. I have always enjoyed Jacqueline Bisset's movies. I think Bobby Roth did a decent job directing this film. I will certainly read the book now. I think many of us can put ourselves in Jackie's shoes. Your marriage is failing apart because of the actions of the man you love so much and then a handsome, enjoyable, younger man comes along and admires you as a beautiful woman inside and out. I would definitely recommend this to other women to view or read. Can anyone tell me where I might be able to buy this movie? I have searched everywhere and just can't seem to find it.

I knew I wouldn't like the film as much as the novel, which was so intelligently written. But other than the fact that the casting was somewhat off (in the book, the age difference is not so very noticeable and the relationship is much more believable) I have to say I was glued to the screen. I admit there were some lame lines of dialogue that the author of the novel wouldn't have written, but it was just so good to see a smart and intelligent film (my God, they quoted Yeats!) on TV that I loved it. And Jacqueline Bisset just gets more beautiful and talented as time goes on. We need more roles like this one for actresses over forty.

Unimpressive, dull and sometimes pretensious TV movie about a middle aged woman (Bisset) who discovered that his old time husband (Mancuso) is betraying her with a young secretary; after the discovery, the poor wife goes back to the city where she lives when she was a teenager justo to reopen an old and decayed ballroom. This movie could be a good chance to discuss with more sharpness the anguish, troubles and fantasies of a feminine soul - especially after a marriage breakup - but unfortunately misses the point and is just a routine and unconvincing love story, narrated like a classic and old-fashioned soap opera. I give this a 4 (four).
