Ein Stern in meiner dunklen Nacht

I am also one who watched this movie multiple times when it ran on cable in the 80's...It is one of my favorites. I have never understood why it was skewered by critics. In one of my Video Guides it was actually given a turkey (meaning that they thought it was so bad that it didn't even deserve a rating using the star system!).

I have the book that the movie was based on. But I actually enjoy the movie more. Marc Singer is wonderful as Tom Sullivan...All of the actors were good in this film, the story is uplifting and I still enjoy watching it. For those looking for it on video...check out Ebay and half.com :) :)

I watched this movie over and over again back in 1983 when it was on cable, and I absolutely loved it. It's a shame it's not available on VHS or DVD because it is such a good movie. I would love to see it again.

I was 14 or 15 when this movie came out, and I fell in love with it, and with Marc Singer. I watched it, like so many others, many times on cable in the mid to late '80s. For those looking for the movie, keep an eye out for it, it is occasionally shown on some cable networks. Every few months or so, IIRC. I'm not exactly sure which network, but I believe I've seen it on AMC, Starz:Love Stories and possibly the W-e Network. People with TIVO might have luck putting it on a wish list. I found it by going to Zap 2 it's website and searching there by title. It takes some patience and time, but it is possible to find a showing which could then be taped or TIVO-ed. I too wish for a DVD release of this movie.

I always loved watching this movie. It always made me feel good, gave me hope and made me laugh. It is one of my all time favorite movies and would watch it over and aver again. Great acting by all characters. Now - I was looking to buy it and can't find it. Very sad. I am now the mother of a blind child and would love to watch it!!!! Sometimes I need to feel a little hope and would love to watch it. I would also love for my other children and my sons friends to see it. I is a timeless movie. I can't believe that I cant find it for sale and the video stores don't even rent it. If anyone knows when it will be on or if it is for sale anywhere please leave a note. Thanks

This is one of those happy little Saturday afternoon kind of movies. It's romantic, funny and charming. Marc Singer is very entertaining as Tom Sullivan, a slightly oversexed musician with the innocence of a child learning life lessons in a most entertaining way.

I really wish I could find this on any format- The scene where the girl rubs Tom (Marc's) chest and he makes his teeth chatter is hysterical. The scene where he and Shari Belafonte are playing Beethoven's Pastoral Symp. is FANTASTIC - even to find a copy of just that or a soundtrack would be awesome. It's just a pleasant little movie.

If anyone has any access to this movie, I would be glad to compensate you for a copy. It has MANY happy memories for me.
