MOVIE DESCRIPTION:
The Promise Movie $14.99 3 DVD Set (1979): A well made movie from the novel by Danielle Steel. There hasn't been another quite like it since.
The Promise is the touching story of a rich young college man, Michael (Collins), who falls in love with a poor painter, Nancy (Quinlan). When his domineering mother, Marion, finds out he wants to marry the girl she runs an investigative report on her to get all the dirt she can to use against her. However, when Michael learns of this he is only angry with his mother, because the girl's past doesn't matter to him. He's in love with her.
He then calls Nancy on the phone and asks her to marry him, right away because he cannot wait, and she excitedly says yes. On his way to pick up Nancy to go to the Justice of the Peace, Michael picks up his best friend Ben to be the best man at their impromptu wedding. While on their way to get married they have a terrible automobile accident, which lands all three of them in the hospital.
When Michael comes out of his coma, he finds out that Ben was released from the hospital with minor injuries. Marion lies to Michael about Nancy, telling him that she had died in the accident. Unknown to him, while Nancy was still groggy and heavily bandaged, Marion made an underhanded deal with her: Marion will send Nancy to California and pay a plastic surgeon to restore her face; Dr. Peter Gregson is the surgeon Marion has chosen, since she can also, and eventually does, bribe him heavily to serve as her barrier against Michael. The catch is that Nancy will not be permitted to return to Boston or contact Michael again unless he contacts her, with the implication being that he will decide if he wants the relationship to continue after the trauma of the accident. Believing that Michael will find her once he wakes up, Nancy agrees.
Time passes, and Nancy undergoes a series of successful surgeries to repair her face (although she looks significantly different from before the accident). Once healed, with a fresh start, she changes her name to Marie Adamson and becomes a successful photographer. Michael goes on to become a successful architect with his family's business, designing multimillion-dollar business skyscrapers.
His company takes a contract to design a building in San Francisco. Ben, who also now works for the company, visits a gallery where Marie's photographs are being displayed. He approaches Marie; she recognizes him, but he does not recognize her. He tries to talk to her about her doing photographs to be displayed in new buildings being designed. Once she learns of Michael's involvement, she refuses to have anything to do with the project.
Ben tells Michael about this great artist named Marie Adamson that will not sell her art to him. Michael goes to see her and her work for himself …and he feels like they've met before… He doesn't make the connection of her being Nancy because to him Nancy passed years ago. What comes after is something none of them expected…

After the break up of her marriage, photographer Samantha Taylor retreats to the sanctuary of friend Caroline Lord's California ranch. An excellent rider, Samantha is initially given a frosty welcome by the ranch hands, but she begins to gain their respect as they see that she is more than able on a horse and in their environment. Samantha falls in love with ranch hand Tate Jordan, and they share a deep and passionate love until Tate finds out that Samantha's ex-husband is popular and wealthy news anchor Warren Taylor. Ashamed by his profession and his 'status', he leaves the ranch.

Whilst visiting a ranch in California, Samantha breaks her back in an accident and is paralysed, and must learn how to walk - and ride - again. Caroline Lord tragically dies but leaves her ranch to Samantha, who turns it into a riding school for paralysed children. Through this enterprise, she begins to heal from the pain of Tate's desertion, the loss of her friend and her own paralysis. Tate returns to the ranch after hearing of Caroline's death and finds Samantha there. Can they both overcome their own demons and learn to love each other again?

STAR (1993)
Star is an excellent Danielle Steel movie that shows the love between two people from the days of their idealistic youth and living through life's experiences by years of chasing their individual dreams.
Crystal is the female character's name, played by Jennie Garth, whose dream was to be a singer and actress. She became involved with her manager who took advantage of her career and her life with his possessiveness and deceptiveness, until he was murdered, for which Crystal was accused. Crystal telephoned her love and he traveled to California, utilized his lawyer's talents to represent her, and cleared her. She sent him back East to continue his work, but with the knowledge of when he is finished with his work and done all he can do and is ready, she'll be waiting.
Cystal's handsome love married the wrong woman, which he realized just prior to marrying after seeing Crystal singing in a night club he and his fiancé visited. His wife came from a family of power and repeatedly reminded him of this throughout their marriage focusing on opportunities her family could do for his career. His idealistic dream was to do good things for humanity, in conjunction with Senator Bobby Kennedy's run for the U.S. Presidency. His work took him to underdeveloped countries where he saw so many difficult situations for people of all ages. When he decided he had enough of his wife, her family and the whole scenario of the politics that go with it, he went home to Crystal and found he also had a son.
He expressed it well toward the end of the movie when he returned to California where Crystal and her son were (back on their family ranch), "Whereever you both are is home."
Starring: Jennie Garth • Craig Bierko • Terry Farrell • Mitchell Ryan
