Girls, this is just what the doctor ordered: A cozy, romantic boxed set of some of Danielle Steel's best escapist films--like the best of Lifetime Movie Network condensed into two fabulous discs. The set contains four films, including the little-seen but deeply involving The Promise, starring a lovely young Kathleen Quinlan and Stephen Collins, pre-7th Heaven--even pre-Sisters. The two play college sweethearts whom fate brings together in a jarring, violent way--forcing them to make a chain of decisions that will affect their lives forever. Quinlan and Collins have believable chemistry and their longing is palpable. Bonus: the production values are extremely high, including a score by David Shire, and direction by Gil Cates (perhaps most famous as the director of the Academy Awards broadcasts). The other films include:

• Palomino, a tale of worldly city gal finding her inner ranch hand--and true love in the arms of a wrangler--in rugged California horse country. Lindsay Frost and Peter Bergman have palpable sexual tension, and the always-welcome Eva Marie Saint makes a memorable cameo.
• Secrets, starring Josie Bissett (an actress talented enough to lead her own TV series) as a soap star who finds the juice and intrigue off camera every bit as knotty as her show's plotlines.
• Star, with Jennie Garth and Craig Bierko as lovers for whom time, distance, and enormous difference of circumstance matter not when they unexpectedly reunite years later.

So heat up the tea and popcorn; this disc is a perfect girls' weekend, whether you have several girlfriends joining you or just your own sweet comfy self. --A.T. Hurley

5.0 out of 5 stars AH, SPENDING A COZY AFTERNOON WATCHING DANIELLE STEEL MOVIES!!!, January 27, 2007

By	Tamra J. Gibson "70's tv addict!!!" (Los Angeles,CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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!!!

4.0 out of 5 stars Review of The Palomino, June 12, 2007

By	Staci L. Wilson "Author: Animal Movies Guide ... (USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

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.
