What do critics know, anyway
Added 11/15/2009
This movie seems to be universally panned, but I have always loved it since I first saw it around 1980. One thing that the critics never comment on is the lush score which is a major part of the enjoyment I get from viewing it. Plenty of sex, great locales, beautiful women, and Sidney Sheldon's blockbuster story faithfully transferred to the screen should please anyone except the snobs who like to read reviews by Maltin and his ilk. Who cares if it's lowbrow; it's fun!

Love the movie and love the book!
I can't believe that this movie is over 30 years old.
It would be ashame for this movie to be a remark, some hard up studio spend untold millions to produce another version of "TOSOM" and the end would be an inferior piece of work! Also, if they tried to make this type of movie today, it would be considered soft porn. So, Hollywood, please don't try it! Thank you!

I'll never forget the first time I saw this movie, my late h.s. year w/ my girlfriend of then. At that time it seemed very steamy, romantic and suggestive-the way things are in the real romantic world! HA! A mere few years later when renting it on video, I laughed at how horrible the dialogue was, how preposterous the storyline is, and how gorgeous Susan Sarandon was at that time. Marie-France Pisier is gorgeous. She's why I rented the video years after seeing it, and she was just as smoking as the first view. And for what it's worth, she's maybe the best in this movie, given the material. But that's not saying much. It's just that she'd most capable of playing tops in a hack movie. This movie is good for laughs, Cinemax late nite type soft porn appeal, and for remembering when Sarandon actually looked beautiful and not necessarily like a tart. But the rest is all ham sandwich. John Beck delivers one of the worst performances in movie history, but again, you have to take the material into consideration. It's like watching a soap from the late 60s, early 70s, and as realistic as a 3 Stooges episode. It might be just as funny as well.
