I saw this movie when it first came out during Christmas holiday 1985. Loved it...cried through the whole thing! Then I learned it was a book and couldn't wait to read it. The book is lush and spellbinding! I've read it a dozen times and it just gets better with each reading. Imagine my surprise when I realized the book was different! So, I found the movie at Blockbuster and watched it again. What a disappointment. Bits and pieces are the same, but for the most part, it was like the script writers hadn't even read the book! Maybe they read the Cliff's Notes! I'm sitting here watching it now, and still just as disappointed as I was 30 years ago. What a disservice to Rosamund Pilcher!!
