Based on the bestselling novel, the film follows a priest and his struggle between his calling and his carnal lusts. Actors: Jean Simmons, Mare Winningham, Rachel Ward, Richard Chamberlain, Richard Kiley, Barbara Stanwyck

Based on Colleen McCullough's book, this is the Emmy-winning story of forbidden love. Over the course of four decades, a friendship between a boy and a girl turns sultry and stormy as they mature into adults. The boy becomes a priest and the girl becomes a wife. While Father Ralph is a model of piety, Meggie Cleary is a mother with a family. Though they have separate devotions--God for Father Ralph, a husband for Meggie--their unspoken allegiance is to each other. Will the twosome's longings overpower their better judgment? Or will they give in to their forbidden passions and risk destroying the lives around them and quite possibly their own?

ABC originally broadcast this mini-series -- already controversial because it concerns an adulterous clergyman -- during Holy Week, 1983. Filmmakers used the Los Angeles City Hall and Saint Andrew's Church in Pasadena to serve as the interior and exterior of the Vatican, respectively. In addition, the Drogheda ranch was built in Simi Valley, California for $2,000,000. The entire production cost $20,000,000.

This is the only Wally Dalton video. Stars also making their debut in this video: Lucinda Dooling, Chard Hayward.

5 stars Best Love Story Ever!
Richard Chamberlin and Rachel Ward sizzle in this wonderfully romantic epic. Sydney Penny is sensational as the young Meggie. This movie is very well written. The entire cast is at the top of their craft. It is the most emotionally charged movie I have ever seen. Whether you're sharing Meggie's grief or rejoicing in her triumphs, it will leave you feeling totally elated.

The film shows how committment and love of God can overburden love and lust.

Though enthralled with the undead lifestyle at first, Louis is unable to warm up to killing humans and grows despondent. To comfort Louis, Lestat creates another vampire (Kirsten Dunst in a star-making peformance), a young girl who from then on cannot age. ...

Christopher Guest follows up his hilarious mockumentary BEST IN SHOW with this parody of the folk music industry. Three well-known folk groups come together for a reunion concert in New York City, singing brilliantly funny songs and producing uniquely bizarre laughs along the way. The Folksmen are an all-male trio consisting of an upright bass, a banjo, a guitar, and a whole lot of melody. Hilarious scenes of the group rehearsing casually in the kitchen, while reflecting on bygone days, are some of the most candidly funny moments in the film. Fake archival photos of the band, ...
