Editorial Review: Description: Based on the novel by Sidney Sheldon, this riveting story of love and revenge boasts dazzling portrayals by Marie-France Pisier, John Beck and Susan Sarandan in one of her career-making roles. Although American WWII pilot Larry Douglas (Beck) promises to marry French femme fatale Noelle Page (Pisier), he instead returns Stateside and marries well-to-do Catherine Alexander (Sarandon). And once Noelle takes a Greek multi-millionaire (Raf Vallone) as a lover, she plots to shame Larry by arranging for him to be the tycoonÂ's private pilot. But in one of many delicious twists of fate in this gripping tale of love, war and betrayal, Noelle and Larry again become passionate, and when Catherine refuses to divorce Larry, the cheating couple seek a murderous revenge. Amazon.com: An over-the-top film co-starring a young and gorgeous Susan Sarandon, The Other Side of Midnight is a deliciously melodramatic adaptation of Sidney Sheldon's sweeping (and often schlocky) novel of the same name. Released theatrically in 1977, the film focuses on the intermingling lives of sexily innocent Noelle (Marie-France Pisier), who has a brief affair with a cad named Larry (John Beck), who ends up marrying wealthy and proper Catherine (Sarandon). When Noelle and Larry meet first lock eyes, he is a dashing World War II American fighter pilot who professes his love for her. But when she discovers she is pregnant with his baby, he is nowhere to be found. So what's a poor girl to do but abort her baby, rise to stardom as one of the world's most famous actresses, and plot revenge against her duplicitous ex-lover? But faster than you can say, "You go, girl!" (or "Oh no she didn't," depending on your point of view), Noelle once again falls for Larry's vaguely porn star charms. But what to do with Catherine, who refuses to divorce her cheating spouse? Make no mistake about it: The Other Side of Midnight is not quality filmmaking and is probably not something Academy Award winner Sarandon even lists on her resume. But she is a joy to watch, even as she has to deliver clunky lines such as, "If you don't love me, Larry, don't lay me." This is not a great movie. Heck, it's not even a particularly good movie. But it's one of those guilty pleasures that you'll watch all the way through, even as you're complaining about the implausibility of it all. --Jae-Ha Kim Average Rating:
 Rating:  - MY FAVORITE MOVIEI READ THE BOOK BY SIDNEY SHELTON IN THE EARLY 1970'S AND IT WAS MY FAVORITE BOOK I COULDNT PUT IT DOWN. WAS VERY HAPPY WHEN I WATCHED THE MADE FOR TELEVISION MINI-SERIES. BROUGHT THE VHS WHEN IT BECAME AVAILABLE. AND HAVE BEEN LOOKING FOR THE DVD SINCE VHS WENT OUT OF STYLE BUT WHEN I HAD CHECKED EARLIER THIS YEAR ALL I COULD FIND WAS THE OVERSEAS VERSION. I AM EXTREMELY HAPPY TO FIND IT IS NOW ON DVD. IF YOU ENJOY A LOVE STORY WITH A SURPRISE TWIST AT THE END THEN THIS IS A MOVIE CHOICE FOR YOU....ENJOY!!!!!!!!!! ...

Rating: - Memories of MidnightIt was very exciting and I thoroughly enjoyed Memories of Midnight. Marty Parsons Rating: - A definitive classicAn absolute must-see. Noelle has been sold to the concubines(sp) by her parents to help make ends meet, sleeping her way to the top as a high fashion model. The setting for this motion picture is lovely Paris (very plush budget too for this film). This drama is extremely addictive & the viewer's attention is easily held by the plot which gradually unfolds. Noelle falls in love with an american soldier whom soon has to go off to war but promises to return & ends up abandoning her, breaking his promise ...

This movie leaves all that watch it thinking and talking and shaking their heads in yummy disbelief. (I dare not give away, too much. Okay, I'll give you a litte..) This is mostly bacause of the leading lady, Noel Page, who is a tragic, lovable, beautiful, powerful, victim turned ice-woman. Equally, the other minor characters are well developed with their own interesting interal and external ... Read More Browse for similar items by category:
