This is an amazing story

When I first watched this. It got to me. And now 4 years later, it still has the same effect on me. This movie has opened my eyes to the possibility of soul reincarnation. I do hope that someday this can come out on VHS/DVD. It is a wonderful movie and I think everyone should have a chance to see it.Jane Seymour is excellent in her double role as Jenny/Mary. I believe that the film does the story extreme justice. I hope that someday I can show my children this epic story. I being of Irish descent am particularly drawn to this film for obvious reasons. But no matter who you are this film will raise some questions about what happens after we die.I rate it a five star movie. Hopefully CBS will have the heart to release it.
