Ruxandra Grecu I saw this for the first time when I was six or seven, and the memory of it really stuck with me, since we didn't have too many TV programs in Romania, back then.I actually remember Hugh Grant's character being evil (think it was his only evil character) and how he (spoiler) collaborated with the Nazis... And I remember the girls, I especially liked Delphine (whenever I - rarely - see Mia Sara in something, I think about this role). Weirdley, Courtney Cox's face didn't ring a bell years later, when I got to see "Friends".I saw it six or seven times I think, there were years when mini-series were 'en vogue', but thinking of it now, I imagine it was pretty melodramatic. I'd love to see it again, though, and I hope I'd be pleasantly surprised.

mayukha I watched this when I was quite small as an English channel showed this as a tele-series back in the late 80's or beginning of the 90's in Sri Lanka....There's not many that I've watched that has been able to take a special person in my memory.... but this was one greaaaaaaat series that I looked forward to seeing every week when it was running in episodes...To think that I remembered the name upto date and to think that I fell for Hugh Grant at a very young age, when other of my age hardly knew that such a character existed, is amazing... when I read through the cast, I even remembered that his role was "Bruno".Whats even more surprising is my sudden remembrance of the series in 2004... so many years after watching it for the first time... and this is very reason I'm here seated in front of the comp taking time off a pretty busy schedule to give my thoughts on it....I simply loved it... and thumbs up for the director of the series and the author (judith krantz) both : ). Pls make more of this kind... so that my daughter would be able to enjoy something similar : )

Claudio Carvalho The saga of the French family de Lancel, since 1910 until the end of the Second World War, is not a bad movie. The video released in Brazil has two and half hours runtime, and the story has all the ingredients of a soap-opera: love, hate, betrayal, rape, war, death, birth etc. There are too much characters, and they are reasonably well developed in a shallow way. Michael York and Hugh Grant, with their strong British accent, are hard to be accepted as French. But Courtney Cox and Hugh Grant in the beginning of their career have a great performance and hook the attention of this romance. The careful production and the selection of good cast and landscapes are also good points in this movie. My vote is six.

juliette-3 The characters in this film came alive. I was so caught up in thesaga and passion of the storylines that I forgot it was fiction! It was a truly memorable film!!
