Torn Between Two Lovers [VHS] [1979]

First of all, don't be afraid of ordering this DVD from Spain. You can change the language: go to Idiomas and then select Ingles (English). The reason I bought Torn between Two Lovers is because I'm a big fan of George Peppard. Lee Remick was also a great actress. Both Peppard and Remick were taken away too soon (both died from cancer).Lee Remick's character leads a happy life with husband and son. She meets a very handsome architect (George Peppard) while stranded at the airport. She falls in love with the architect but is still loyal to her husband (played by Joe Bologna). So she is torn between husband and lover. She chooses to stay with the husband though things will never be the same as before. I don't like the ending mainly because being a hot-blooded and hot-tempered woman, I would have given half of my country to live with/love/sleep with G. Peppard. The screenwriters did what they wanted to do or what they had to do - this is after all a made-for-TV romance.Good movie with a bittersweet ending. Buy it and watch it for Lee Remick and George Peppard. Special mention goes to the helicopter scene - very nice aerial views of Chicago.And a special mention for Delbert Mann: have a look on Wikipedia to know who he was and what he did!

Good service arrived quickly however sound very good but picture quailty very poor

I bought this as a gift for someone and got this delivered to them directly. so I cannot rate this properly really. Just a note, this is in Spanish or Italian, you'd have to change the setting to English.

Great price! Excellent film

I love this film and had it on video now I can watch it again on DVD

When a married woman (Lee Remick) is stranded at a snowbound airport, she meets an architect (George Peppard) and while there's an undeniable attraction, she prevents it from going further. But when he seeks her out, a seed is planted that will bear that will hurt everybody. Movies based on hit records have been done several times (HARPER VALLEY PTA and ODE TO BILLIE JOE come to mind) and, perhaps inevitably, they're never very good. TORN BETWEEN TWO LOVERS was a huge hit in 1977 going to no. 1 on the charts but it's a pretty sappy song. Films about adultery are tricky, if there's to be any sympathy for its characters, the adultery needs to be justified in some way. An unhappy marriage, an irresistible attraction between two people ... something. There's no sympathy for Remick's dilemma. She's got a good marriage to a great guy (Joseph Bologna) and while Remick and Peppard are certainly attractive, there's no sense of a passion so great that it can't be denied. Instead, what we get is the usual man with the nice little wife at home with a mistress on the side and each only getting 50% of him plot. Only this time, the genders are reversed. It's an unremarkable TV movie of week, only with a higher caliber of actors and director (Delbert Mann, MARTY). With Giorgio Tozzi and Andrea Martin.The Sogemedia DVD from Spain is an adequate transfer with both English and Spanish soundtracks and easily disabled Spanish subtitles.

it was posted and diliverd on time no damage at all very good thank you. and this is a load of ------

Loved the movie!!

Wie schön, die leider viel zu früh verstorbene Lee Remick noch einmal zu sehen. Und George Peppard, der als junger Mann die Hauptrolle neben Audrey Hepburn in "Frühstück bei Tiffany" spielte. Leider ist der Film nicht in einer deutschen Synchronfassung erhältlich, obwohl diese existiert und damals im Fernsehen gezeigt wurde. Der englische Originalton ist teilweise kaum verständlich, wenn möglich, sollte man den Film mit Kopfhörern anschauen.Die Geschichte ist schnell erzählt: Eine verheiratete Frau aus guten Verhältnissen, zwei Kindern und einem italienisch-stämmigen Ehemann, verliebt sich auf einer Flugreise innerhalb der USA bei einem wetterbedingten Aufenthalt auf dem Flughafen von Chicago in einen anderen Mann (Peppard). Hin- und hergerissen (daher die Titelmelodie "Torn between two lovers") zwischen ihrem bisherigen Leben und dem alleinstehenden Architekten, der von Peppard etwas zu cool gespielt wird, entscheidet sie sich am Ende für die Familie und ihren Ehemann. Alles recht unspektakulär, aber Lee Remick gelingt das, was Francois Truffaut einmal über Catherine Deneuve gesagt hat: "Ein Film mit ihr braucht keine Handlung".Noch ein Hinweis: Nicht von dem spanischen Cover abschrecken lassen. Die DVD hat zwei Tonspuren, Spanisch und das Original Englisch, und ist sorgfältig hergestellt. Die Bildqualität entspricht dem in der damaligen Zeit normalen Fernsehbild. Eine Digitalisierung wäre wohl zu aufwändig gewesen.

What would the world be without a good love story? movies like these are a good - a required - counterpoint to all these war, crime and rambo-style movies...

This dvd has great quality. Excellent viewing. Well worth the price.

I certainly loved Torn Between Two Lovers. Especially since I wrote this movie in 1978 and I have been looking for a video copy for years. For TV buffs, I wrote this with my friend Doris Silverton and both our names are on the video box, even though they spelled my name wrong. Even this review box spells it wrongFor fun insider info go to my website ritalakin.com or write to me at [email protected] viewing
