    One of the best romance movies

    I too wish I could find this movie on VHS or DVD. It is a classic for many reasons. It also provokes a lot of emotions at different times of the movie.

    As I remember the movie, I often wonder if that is what really happens in that industry. I'm sure it's often cut throat, so to speak. Some of the scenery and movie sets are fantastic. It definitely fits the genre of the 80's.

    Bruce and Genie I think should have been nominated for a Oscar!!! I've so many other romance movies that aren't half as good as this one.

    If anyone knows where to get it, I'd certainly appreciate it!!!
