Movie review
From Time Out Film Guide
The Other Side of Midnight gloriously restores the era of Now, Voyager - right down to the nonsense title; expert schlocksmiths Daniel Taradash (Doctors' Wives) and Herman Raucher (Summer of '42) have adapted Sidney Sheldon's bestseller into the movie equivalent of a good long bad read. Pisier aborts herself with a (wire) coathanger as World War II breaks out, sleeps her way across Europe, winds up mistress to a Greek tycoon, and deviously hires the pilot who jilted her back in 1940. The only let-downs are Jarrott's usual stuffy direction and John Beck's boring performance as the pilot.Author: AN

This is a great movie!
Completely misunderstood until it got a new life from DVD release.
It is first rate, good.
The crafting of it, its a knock out old fashion movie! - Report as inappropriate
