Romance on the Orient Express

Cheryl Ladd takes the Orient Express with a girlfriend, as she remembers her past and a past love. OR is he, a past love? This must have been shown on British TV in 1985, because it doesn't look like anything that was ever on CBS, ABC or NBC in the 1980s. The locales, Sir John Gielgud and the romantic aura it has all come together to make a very rare television film, and one I think will be a favorite for true romantics. In her thoughts and the flashback, we see her and her girlfriend traveling through Europe and meeting Alex and his friend. Cheryl as Lily and Alex have an interlude but are separated. 10 years pass until present day when Cheryl and another girlfriend (who of course plays up the "where are the men on this train?" attitude and who looks a lot like Vicki Lawrence) are on the Orient Express and Alex has found her and tries to make up for what he did. Some dialogue and somewhat awkward scenes could be found unintentionally funny, but on the whole this is a very deeply felt and sincere little film for the true romantic at heart.

It's my favorite movie, and I love the story very much from the first time I saw it. Now I taped it to make a video CD, so that I can keep it ever, and review it anytime.

I cannot forget Lily's eye sight, Alex's face, and the beautiful song when they were sightseeing on a river boat: If you could-- save the time-- in the box--

Beautiful story and scenery! Great chemistry between Alex (Stuart Wilson) and Lily (Cheryl Ladd). Alex looks so pitifully sweet toward the last scene of the movie! I loved that! If the story hadn't ended the way it did, I would have been UPSET!!! This is one of my favorites for romantic movies. 10/10

Very nice TV movie... with lovely landscapes and beautiful music! Excellent performances of the casting and 10 points photography.

The problem is that I can´t find the movie in VHS so I can buy it. Please people of AMAZON ... ! where I can get this movie? I want to buy it.

If you are at home one saturday afternoon with nothing to do... rent this movie, get a COKE some chocolate cookies and with a middle open window put the video in your player and enjoy it! It´s very smart advice from an argentinian movies expert.

Cheryl ladd is lily parker, traveling in venice. She gets on the orient express, and bumps into an old boyfriend. But it's no accident. Now we're in flashback, seeing how they met the first time. Alex falls for lilly immediately, and wants to spend every minute together. Forty minutes in, they hint at some big, horrible devastating secret, which is probably what drove them apart back in the day. We finally find out the big secret, and it's really no big deal. Now that they have met up again, can they patch things up? John geilgud costars as theodore, alex's father. It's all a bit silly and campy, but no big plot holes. The eighties hair, the eighties makeup. Ladd spends a lot of time fixing her hair. Meh... directed by lawrence clark. Story by jan worthington.
