Tears in the Rain

My favorite of all time. Wonderful story, casting, photography and especially acting. Sharon Stone was absolutely brilliant, the best she could ever be. All the actors were extraordinary and so far above 'good' as to not find words to praise enough. The very most memorable thing for me is the song 'Safe in my arms again' sung by the fabulous voice of Colette Stevenson. Wish I could buy it as a single! Have bought the movie in every form and watch it about once a month. This movie accomplishes exactly what it is meant to, great entertainment! For me, a lovely escape from the trials of life. I can only say to all who made this, "very well done".

Contrary to most of the other comments, I found this movie wonderfully romantic and believable. Christopher Cazenove and Sharon Stone had great chemistry together. If you like romantic dramas like I do, you should see this film!

Christopher Cazenova and Sharon Stone are charming in this movie, but their talent is wasted in an implausible script. The plotline was highly unbelievable and only the performances of some of the cast make it worth watching at all. Leigh Lawson is very amusing as Cazenova's womanizing Arab friend and Anna Massey is interestingly ruthless as Cazenova's mother. If you should happen to get this on tape I would keep the remote control handy so that you can fast forward as needed.

... BUT! ... Prepare to be EXTRAORDINARILY disappointed with the LOUSY image quality of the 2003 DVD release from "Legacy Entertainment" that I happened to be crippled with when I saw this.

I'm a technically competent person who recognized the symptoms of a cheap copy straight-from-videotape. Colors are washed out and you can even see the garbled scan lines at the bottom of the screen from the crease of the original video-tape source. Fans of Sharon Stone may agree with me that if you walked into a theater and found this playing on the screen and someone asked you, "Who is that actress playing Casey Cantrell?", you might say, "I have no idea". She's YOUNG in this movie!

Ugh, this movie is SO 1988. A decent cast was wasted by a ridiculous script, and the contrived ending had me laughing so hard I almost fell off my bed watching it. What else DIDN'T these stuffy parents tell their children about their long lost love lives? They could probably film a whole 'nutter movie on the subject. Too funny. I would have loved the ending where they find out they were brother and sister; that might have added some real poignancy to the story. But the script writers copped out and came up with an hysterical solution that only a dime novel romance writer would have the audacity to write.

I loved Christopher C. in Duchess of Duke Street, but this movie was badly flawed and even his talents couldn't make it better.
