For 20 of those years, it was most-watched daytime drama in the US. What interrupted a live broadcast of the show in 1963? More... Discuss |

My favorite movie of all time! I've worn out at least 2 of the soundtrack CD's of the movie. I never get tired of watching Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour. Thanks for posting this, Mike.
That is a fabulous movie. Seems like he's been "gone" longer than 4 years.
I knew is was, Sharon. It's one I'd like to have in my library, sure worth watching every so often.
Jane Seymour was absolutely stunning in this movie, and I certainly can understand Reeve's appeal to women.
I remember him in some show, should go look it up, but it's worth watching if only for one scene. Reeve plays a combat priest and during a battle in Italy (think it was) he picks up a machine gun and beats back the enemy, killing quite a few.
Had to find another version of the video, the old one was taken down. Thank goodness there's no shortage of these on YouTube.
