Excellent

The book of "The Promise" was so wonderful, I just couldn't wait to see the movie. I can't imagine if I would have enjoyed the movie as much if I hadn't read the book. Remembering the book while watching the movie made me enjoy it more. I thought it was very good. I only wish the ending had been longer. The music was great and the actors played the parts very well. It was an endearing love story. While women may love the movie more than gentlemen, I have two sons in their 40's that are trying to get copies of this movie as it was one of their favorites growing up. I wish it would come out on DVD. It was one of Danielle Steele's best stories - by far.
