I will preface this by telling you I am not a Sharon Stone fan. However her role in Tears In the Rain, made in 1988 four years before she starred in Basic Instinct, definitely impressed me with her acting abilities. Her younger, softer, almost girl-next-door wholesomeness enchants the viewer from the beginning. Casey Cantrell (Sharon Stone) has been left instructions after her mother's death to hand deliver a letter to Lord Richard Bredon (the late Shakespearean actor Paul Daneman) in the United Kingdom. Upon her arrival a twist of fate throws Casey into the arms of Lord Bredon's son Michael (Christopher Cazenove). Take a dashing hero, a beautiful heroine, and an evil influence (in the form of Lady Emily played quite well by Anna Massey) wrap them in mystery and intrigue and what do you have... the makings of a great romantic fairytale. As the story unfolds you realize that there are actually two love stories here, one in the past and the one in the present. We are treated to a veritable feast of romance, drama, and suspense. As you ride along on this rollercoaster ride of emotions you are swept along by the love Casey and Michael share. I was enthralled in this tale of great and undying love. I found that it took my breath away and kept me guessing at every turn, right up to the surprise ending. Sharon Stone and this predominately British cast deliver the kind of romantic storyline that women crave- and they do it quite well. And men could take a few lessons from the ever romantic Michael. The movie was filmed in mono but the picture quality is good and the sound quality is okay, unlike the earlier DVD version (which was terrible). No special effects or special features here, just a great story that is well done. Based on the novel written by Pamela Wallace and adapted by Freda Kelsall and directed by Don Sharp. Hey all you romantics out there, this is one movie you must see!Read full review
The quality of this DVD manufactured 20060228 is very good. The story is so romantic and well acted. I've seen it a dozen times and I cry mostly at the end ... mostly for Lord Bredon.

Wonderful movie. But it is a tear jerker. The humor is delightful and the chemistry is great. Unsually deep story line for a harliquin romance. A tale of missed moments and sweet suspense. Its the first movie from Sharon Stone that I really liked her in. There were essentailly two story lines at the same time. You cannot help but be touched by this movie. If the ending scene doesn't move you then your just not into the romance genre.
A very well made movie, story line is excellent, great actors. Ladies get your Kleenex ready.
