Review by Tamra J. Gibson for Danielle Steel 2 DVD Collection (Palomino / Secrets / Star / The Promise)
Rating:
This collection of movies from Danielle Steel is quite a treat, including the movie The Promise starring, Stephen Collins bka “Dan Broderick” from the famous A Woman Scorned, and a very young and stunning Kathleen Quinlan.
PALOMINO: After seeing this one I wanted to inherit a ranch and fall in love with a handsome farm hand!!!
Secrets: Reminds me of the days when prime-time soaps ruled! I truly enjoyed the fantastic ensemble cast, which includes a very handsome Christopher Plummer! That man has aged so well!!!
Star: Eventhough this love-triangle roots for the main character played by Jennie Garth, I really liked and felt sorry for the second choice wife, played by the very beautiful Terry Farrell. I remember her from the tv movie and short-lived series Paper Dolls.
The Promise: This is a bonus movie included that’s well worth watching, about a young couple very much in love, but a horrible accident tempts their fate.
This dvd set is a must for any Danielle Steel fan or if you just enjoy watching great tv movies minus the long commercials. I rarely watch Lifetime network anymore because their commericals are so long (5 minutes or more, I counted). I’d rather buy the movies on dvd! I just wish some other classic tv movies would get released on dvd in the US like Lace, starring Phoebe Cates, Deceptions, starring Stefanie Powers, and Mistral’s Daughter!!!
Review by Staci L. Wilson for Danielle Steel 2 DVD Collection (Palomino / Secrets / Star / The Promise)
Rating:
The “palomino” is actually the flax-tressed Lindsay Frost as a recently divorced photojournalist who sets her sights on a hunky horseman played by Lee Horsley. More flannel-tearing than bodice-ripping, the bosoms still heave as shutterbug and cowboy begin a hot-n-heavy affair among the Quarterhorses and haybales. Tragedy strikes and the suds lather, but Palomino is a well-done weepie for romantics who also like horses. There’s a nice subplot involving therapeutic riding for disabled children. Based on a novel by Danielle Steele.

I have always been a closet Steel fan, and enjoyed the translation of her books and novellas (she wrote the movie novella The Promise.
The stars in her Tv films have always been well cast and the film versions of her books hold up very well.
Rather than review each film in this set, let me dote on The Promise. Kathleen Quinlan as Nancy/Marie was an incomparable beauty in this film, a simple tale of two lovers Nancy and Michael Hillyard (played by Stephen Collins)torn apart by a horrific car accident and a devious mother, well played by Beatrice Straight. Nancy undergoes extensive plastic surgery after being disfigured ( at the expense of Michael’s mother-with the proviso that she gives up Michael). She does so, believing that Michael will seek her out, not knowing he has been told that Nancy “died”. A tale of true love, though incredibly sappy, good scenery of San Francisco, fine performances and a good score serve the film and the story well. I once ran into Stephen Collins and talked with him about his career and he advised that he got more positive feedback about his role as the bereft and mourning Michael Hillyard than any other role. Interesting, hmmmmm? Anyway, the price point of this set for the four Steel films, with The Pomise included as a special attraction makes it one of the real bargains out there. Have your hankies ready! Now if the studio would only release the miniseries “The Ring”!

I’ll probably be asked for more reviews. I think you can evaluate them better if you could consider them in the persective of my tastes, character and personality. In view of this may I introduce myself to you, to Amazon.co.uk and Amazon.de?
I am a Maltese Maths teacher nearing retirement. I always made maximum effort not to suffer from a conservative mentality and I don’t get along bad with people of any generation. My favourite challenge is trying to understand people’s feelings, and empathise them. I do my best to discourage marriage separation and divorce with people in marriage crisis and strive towards reconciliation. It is perhaps the reason why I hold in limelight of my collection Erich Kastner’s film “Das doppelte Lottchen” (The Parent Trap).
I enjoy practically all types of films including hard pornos, nudity and hard sex, so long as they have good scenery and a convincing plot. I cherish in such films with a good, sentimentally musical background. However, I hate and really hate films that dwell on violence and bloodshed.
The Promise.
I rated this film very good because it brings out the spiritual power of love between two persons. The lady was disfigured after a terrible accident and had to submit to plastic surgery which completely changed her face. Although her former fiancee had no idea now who she was, he felt himself mysteriously attracted to her. This mystery puts one aware of a life reality which one rarely even thinks about but which one “treasures” once one is made conscious of it. Along with a somewhat rich scenery and musical background this film gives the positive message that love survives even through impossible situations. The acting was good and it is a film that one sees over and over again.
