Your mouth will fly open at least 20 times during this pure soap opera story of a naive but gorgeous French girl Noelle Page (Marie France Pisier), who falls in love with a Canadian pilot Larry Douglass (John Beck) right before WWII. When he jilts her and unknowingly leaves her pregnant, she rises to the top partly by sleeping with movie actors and directors and a rich financier (Raf Vallone). Is it for revenge OR to get Larry back? It seems that Larry has gone on to other women (a girl in London is rumored to be pregnant too). But he finds true love when he meets whacky Kathy (a very young Susan Sarandon), who is working for a public relations firm in USA. She makes more mistakes than miracles, but when she strikes gold it is a bonanza. They marry and are happy. But Noelle now with money and fame as a model and an actress is keeping tabs on Larry. Eventually, he is unemployed after WWII, and she causes him to be hired as her personal pilot in Greece. This movie is pure eye candy. The scenery is gorgeous, the music is gorgeous, the story is gorgeous, and the people dress extravagantly. Even the sex scenes are gorgeous. But when it all shakes out, it is a bit unsatisfying. When it is over, you wonder if the plot really is realistic. And the twist at the end will be your 20th mouth gasp. This movie is also about 3 hours long. Watch it on a rainy day. It is a pure box of chocolate candy that won't cause any weight gain. This movie did not win any awards.Read full review

When I was in the U.S.Navy back in 1978 I made my first Med Cruise. I bought the book just to have something to pass the time. I'm not a big book reader especially love stories but once I started reading the book I couldn't put it down. I then wanted to see the movie and the only time I ever seen it at a theater was during the cruise in Israel.....as luck would have it the theater was closed because it was the Jewish sabbath. I had looked for the movie before but never found it in any store. I had all but given up when something told me to see if it was available on e-bay. Obviously it was, and I did not hesitate to purchase it. I realize that I paid a little more for the movie than what I would have at a video store however, I enjoyed finally watching it....and bringing some closure to a part of my past. It was like going back in time, and sometimes that is a really neat thing to do, we should all try and do that occassionally.Read full review
