• HALLMARK COLLECTOR'S SET (DVD MOVIE)

Jaclyn Smith (Charlie's Angels: Full Throttle) "is quite beautiful in her dual role" (Leonard Maltin) as the fiancÃ(c)e of a screenwriter and the long-dead actress attempting to stage a vengeful comeback! Co-starring two-time OscarÂ(r) winner* Shelley Winters, Claire Bloom (Mighty Aphrodite) and Nigel Terry (Excalibur), this supernatural tale of revenge and obsession willkeep you guessing until the final frame! While researching the life of an actress who perished in a mysterious fire in the 1920s, Michael (Terry) discovers that she bore an uncanny resemblance to his bride-to-be, Maggie (Smith). But his suspicions about the similarities can't prepare him for the truth when the spirit of the actress begins to possess Maggie in an attempt to bring the curtain down on those who caused her death! *Supporting Actress, A Patch of Blue (1965);The Diary of Ann! e Frank (1959)Though not as briskly exciting as the 2002 theatrical release, this earlier TV adaptation of Robert Ludlum's bestseller has distinct advantages over its big-screen counterpart. It's far more loyal to Ludlum's serpentine plot, boasts greater latitude of geography and character development (allowing Richard Chamberlain's fine performance in the title role), and rises above TV limitations to achieve a big-budget look and feel. Suffering from amnesia and forced to piece together his past as a world-class assassin, Jason Bourne (Chamberlain) enlists the aid of a Canadian economist (Jaclyn Smith), and this pairing of '80s miniseries mainstays remains consistently intelligent, well paced, and altogether respectable. Chamberlain and Smith have adequate chemistry (albeit somewhat shallow), and their dangerous adventure--and eventual romance--is played out against a dozen European locations. Incorporating more of Ludlum's interwoven subplots, this ambitious Bourne is a globetrotter's delight, with a spy-thriller identity al! l its ow n. --Jeff ShannonThis stirring drama is based on the life of Florence Nightingale, an aristocratic woman who defied Victorian society to reform hospital sanitation and to define the nursing profession as it is known today. After volunteering to travel to Scutari to care for the wounded soldiers of the Crimean War, she was scorned by her community and faced great opposition for her new way of thinking. However, through her selfless acts of caring, she quickly became known as "The Lady with the Lamp," the caring nurse whose shadow softened those wounded. From Emmy® Award-winning director Daryl Duke (TV's "The Thorn Birds") and writers Ivan Moffat and Rose Leiman Goldemberg (TV's "The Burning Bed") comes the classic TV movie starring Jaclyn Smith, Claire Bloom, Timothy Dalton and Jeremy Brett, now available for the first time on DVD.No Description Available.
