Um Amor do Passado

a pink movie like too many others. clichés, same rules of an impossible love story, links with the past and the second youth. few drops of drama and a good actress as axis of a mediocre story. so, the good thing is the conclusion after its end. because, obvious, it is not so bad. decent solutions of script for few confuse details and the desire of Jaquelline Bisset to use each possibility of credibility for her character are the good points. the bad thing could be Eric Mabius who is real uncomfortable in a role who pretend not very much from his actor. but the result is OK , in part because it is the expected one. nothing surprises. few beautiful scenes. and a nice film about the second chance and the true love.

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.

almost creepy. not the best option for Eric Mabius as John Flemming. one of many sweet stories about the young prince and not very young princess. it is only a comfortable story in Hallmark style. nothing new, nothing complicated, nothing interesting. only he and she and the people around theme. so, not good or bad. only another occasion for Jacqueline Bisset to act old role who defines her. only strange fact is the status of son of first boyfriend of Maggie Webber for the young Flemming. it is strange and unrealistic. and, sure, far to be real moral. but it could be only an insignificant detail. a film for the fans of genre. and that is all.

Beautifully executed script. My only complaint was that Jackie Bissett's accent was not explained and, as in the case of another watcher, I agreed 100% that whereas Eric Mabius was perfect in his role and totally comfortable in his/John's character being in love with an older woman, even to the end of the film, Jackie B. (who had plenty of experience in this situation as in "Rich and Famous") did not seem comfortable in return. This, beyond the fact that her character had been fleetingly in love with John's father over 25 years before. This was a beautiful story and I will seek out the book by Kinnon. Embarrassed to say that since I am in the same place now that Maggie was in the film, I teared through the entire film. Eric Mabius' powerful and perfect performance is in part responsible for my high grade. He was able to continue his character's persona created by another actor as his father giving the same passionate human flavor that a son would have who was very like his father. Beautiful!

Jacky Bisset did her best and I enjoyed her performance very much. However, TV movies are just what they are: boring pulp. Just pass this one by. The script was pretty poor too. Why on earth would a young boy blow his life by marring a 50-something woman? Most of the woman complaints I hear are that the guys won't even commit to a woman their own age!!!
