It's on ThisTV right now.


thing I love about this tv network, is it show movies that have slipped thru my net. Random 70's movies that have big names in it, yet seem to be forgotten.

It's going off right now and I finally got to see it for the first time, after hearing so many stories about how bad it was. I'm glad I finally did. Honestly, it's not as bad as I feared, although I can see where this "modern" fairy tale could have been better. I found both Nina and the Contessa likeable characters, and even in her cameo, it was a nice experience seeing Isabella Rossalini sharing screen time with her great and talented mother. It's just such a shame that you had such a good cast (Bergman, Minelli, even Charles Boyer) directed by a great director, and something was sadly missing. I don't know if it was poor job of dubbing, or the feel that the storytelling was a tad incoherent. Whatever the case, I could overlook the problems and focus on this Cinderella-type story. Here's hoping THIS will run it again -- and knowing them, they definitely will!
