A Secret Affair

Home in Toronto on a chilly early spring afternoon. Came across the film while browsing on YouTube and decided to give it a go. (TBH when I saw the on-screen pic I thought it was Robson Green. But not disappointed by Paudge Behan's contribution!) Okay. It's formulaic but not a bad way to spend 90 minutes. You pretty well know how the plot's going to unfold never mind end but the performances are passable and the locales are lovely.

Heck, it's Barbara Taylor Bradford. What would you expect? It's no "A Woman of Substance" but that's okay.

IDK if I'd watch it again but not unhappy I found it. 👍👍

The movie is just splendid! it has all you need for a romantic movie, the only thing that i "didn't like" was that the subject was "used" already or you know what will happened when you seen him that he goes in that dangerous mission. Any way its super romantic!both actors are beautiful. The title is perfect.I really want to see a second part of this movie something where we can see they're family , they're second love plus the love of Bill Fitzgerald's daughter or something , the place where the film was made is wonderful as well.The location is so romantic ... this film it has all what it needs to be a perfect romantic movie

I liked "Northern Exposure," but wasn't as enthralled with it as many of my acquaintances. I found a lot of its characters tiresome, the exceptions being Barry Corbin, and especially Janine Turner.

I had not seen her that I recall since the series went off-air, until happening upon this flick.

This may not be "War and Peace," "Dr. Zhivago," or "Casablanca," but I found it enjoyable, especially due to Ms. Turner, and also Brendan Behan's son, a credible, engaging actor, whom I'd never seen prior.

Regarding some of the other comments I've seen here, the Venice scenes were outstanding, although it did seem the "Balkans" part was filmed a bit "on the cheap."

However, a worthwhile, entertaining presentation.

I am so glad I taped this movie. I have watched it over and over again! Janine Turner was excellent as well as her co-star Paudge Behan, whom I have never seen before and would like more information regarding his biography. Janine gets more beautiful with age and I was so impressed with Paudge Behan. This was a wonderful love story. I love happy endings!After seeing this movie I checked out the book and read it and was surprised at how different the book was compared to the movie. However, I tend to like the movie version better than the book. Would love to see more of Janine & Paudge in the future. The scenery was lovely in Venice and Dublin as well!

Ok, so this movie is kind of hokey. But I still loved it. Janine Turner is beautiful, the Irish guy was a real dish and most charming. It's not deep, it didn't make me think. But for me, it was entertaining and fun. I've watched it several times.
