Si c'était demain

I recently purchased this movie, and I have read the book several times. The story is one that I really enjoy, however the fashion at the time of making this movie is clearly 1986.

I have gotten the first part of it from a friend quite a long time ago, when I was still a teenager, and we watched it with my parents. We were so sucked in, that as soon as the first tape was over, we called the friend, and asked if she could meet us with the second tape. She did, so we watched the whole thing back to back, and loved it! The story is really clever and interesting, there is a lot of humor in it as well, and the characters, albeit thieves, are very likable. I'd say it's in the same league as "Ocean's 11", but perhaps even more poignant, because the characters are better developed (if for no other reason, because the series are longer than any movie can possibly be). It's a treat!

An absolutely stellar mini-series. Sidney Sheldon's books are a journey onto themselves and while the series stays close to the book, it is the extra parts of the screenplay that are a delight to watch. Madolyn Smith brings Tracy Whitney to life. She plays the part with remarkable ease and her accents are a hoot. Her character is intelligent and vulnerable at the same time. Her chemistry with Tom Berenger as Jeff Stevens is palpable. I loved the fact that all the characters are exactly as I had envisioned them. The screenplay is taut and dialogues are witty.

The book like the adaptation can be divided into two parts. The horrifying ordeal of the initially idealistic Tracy in jail is the first part. The second part is her eventual transformation into a con artist and her escapades- and what fun these are! Put it on your must-watch list ASAP!

It's simply my the most beloved mini ever! I watched it many time and always with the same great interest. Such great movies are made really rare, such books are written really once a decade. Inspite its ages the movie looks perfect even in XXIst century. It's one of the few movies everyone HAS TO see. Classics for all time. Every time I watch this movie I ask myself how could anyone make such a simple and much appealing masterpiece that doesn't get old and silly. It seems that the story is always topical and of high interest from the audience. P.S. Thanx to NTV, Russian TV channel that broadcast it every year on New Year holidays.

Far from profundity and even further away from reality, Sidney Sheldon and the film team has created an adorable mini series, perfect for a lazy day in the sofa. Tracy is the heroine all women envy, beautiful, clever and leading an extraordinarily exciting life. Jeff is the man all women would like: charming, boyish and still a world-class thief. I just love the romance, and although we all realize how far from life this story is, it is actually quite charming to forget reality for a while. Watch it and learn to love the simplicity!
