Soon They Fnd A Cabin And Stay The Night And Soon They Fall In Love! This Movie Is A Drama Mixed With A Little Comedy! -Jeremy

Watched this again this weekend. I have seen it every year since it's premiere in 1999. Andrews and Garner (in their third film together) still have chemistry together--and then some. This is truly a classic, and a sterling example of what a Holiday movie should be. The entire cast performs beautifully, the wintry atmosphere is completely captivating and the musical score is perfect. Add to these a script which is believable and touching without becoming trite. Everyone gets an "A" for their work in this, but in the end, it's truly the perfect performances of Andrews and Garner that make this such a memorable experience.

My spouse & I count this movie as one of our all time favorites & a MUST SEE for the holidays. We never miss it, as it is an extremely enjoyable, fun, romantic & heartwarming movie, with a superb cast who give fantastic performances. Ms. Andrews & Mr. Garner, reportedly close friends in real life, have a lot of "spark" together & the dialog written for them is, at times, hysterical. There are some sad points in the movie, which only make it more believable & true-to-life. The scenery in this movie is gorgeous & there are a few stories going on at once, making it a non-stop enjoyable movie. The title, "One Special Night" defines the catalyst for a lifetime of special love & relationships.

"One Special Night" is the classic story of two people meeting each other and taking an instant dislike to the other, then slowly but surely warming up to each other. What makes this movie stand out above the rest in the genre, is that after they spend their 'one special night' together, it's not all smiles and roses. Messages get mixed up, white lies are told and things happen that seem to drive the two further apart and make any chance at romance seemingly impossible.

This is Julie Andrews & James Garner's third movie together and in 35 years, since the filming of "The Americanization of Emily" & "Victor/Victoria", neither of them have lost their glow or spunk and can still create the spark between that makes them so adorable.

The two stars of "One Special Night" are far from the average Hollywood tartlets that seem to dominate the genre. Instead they're mature, well established people that give the movie that little bit more credibility and realism.

It's nice to see that Hollywood is still willing to make romance movies with actors and actresses that are no longer considered "young" as personally I think people only get better with age.

This move is definitely one that proves that theory correct beyond a doubt!

This is a nice TV movie starring screen legends James Garner and Julie Andrews. Garner plays construction contractor Robert Woodward who encounters medical doctor Catherine (Andrews) after having problems getting a taxi home during a snowstorm. After Catherine offers him a ride, her car gets stuck in the snow, forcing them to spend the night at an empty cabin, resulting in at first a fiery, but later an unlikely relationship.

There is great chemistry between Garner and Andrews and both delivered some solid portrayals of their respective characters. Their presence really made this drama a worthy viewing experience and made the plot, although slow at times, entertaining. This movie also captures the values and integrity of humans and the genuine love and special bond people share - things sorely missing in many of today's movies.

I will always remember Julie Andrews as Maria from Sound of Music, but it is great seeing her in a TV production later on in the years. It's one special movie for everyone.
