Fino al prossimo incontro

An amazing cast; perfect landscapes, sets and costumes. Set in Pre-WWI, the story begins with one wealthy man's troubled marriage, which leaves him a widower with a son who will become estranged to him thanks to interference from elitist grandparents (Michael York & Hugh Grant, two of my faves -- NO SPOILERS). During his travels following the war, York falls for a young woman from a good family (Lucy Gutteridge) who was inopportunely seduced and ultimately forced to become a type of show girl... who he marries, which leads to the birth of three children whose stories unfold with the Nazi occupation of WWII in the backdrop. The stars survive all forms of trauma, much of it caused by York's estranged son (Grant).

Supporting actors (including several of my faves as well, namely Charles Shaughnessy, Bruce Boxleitner, Barry Bostwick, and Vernon Dobtcheff) really help the leading ladies of the story (Lucy Gutteridge, Mia Sara, and Courteney Cox) pull through quite a lot from the start of the film through it's conclusion.

No Spoilers. Watch the movie.
