Trivia
In 1960, when shooting his first movie in Paris, as a car was in the way, Lelouch wanted to ask the driver to move it a few meters further. The only person in the car was Edith Piaf, in the backseat, waiting for her driver. As he was a great admirer of both Marcel Cerdan and Edith Piaf, she took a few minutes to tell him how she and Marcel Cerdan met. Edith Piaf then told Lelouch that if he was a movie director, that story would be a gift from her. And he shot Edith and Marcel. See more »Alternate Versions

This is pretty much the style of TV movie adaptations of Danielle Steele's books.
It's pretty awful. You will also see the poorest shots of boxing you will ever see - gently place the glove against the man's face, slowly move the face by gently extending the gloved hand...
You will also be somewhat sickened by: a) camera circling, and b) drumbeat accompaniment to camera circling.
All that said, it is about as entertaining as Danielle Steel - so if you're in that mood, go ahead, but you'll KNOW instantly this is BAD!
