This movie was extraordinary and changed my life. Lindsay Wagner and Jeffrey Fields are wonderful. After watching this movie, it makes you stop to think about who and what's really important in your life. A DEFINITE MUST SEE! You will not be disappointed. As a matter of fact, I keep looking to see when it will be on again.

What makes this movie so special . . is once you become involved, you almost stop to wonder - this is exactly what I want to have a ONCE IN A LIFETIME experience with someone special.

For those Rex Smith fans out there, He is in this, but it is a short lived role(literally). He is charming and handsome as ever as Jeffrey Fields, husband to Lindsay Wagner(Bionic Woman), who plays Daphne.
Barry Bostwick, most known for his role of Brad, in Rocky Horror Picture Show, plays the doctor who falls in love with Daphne.
The story starts with the present day, Christmas Day, and when Daphne gets hit by a car, the story unravels and goes back to when she lost her first husband, Jeffrey, and her daughter in a house fire. She gives birth to Jeffrey's son, who turns out to be deaf. Daphne becomes a famous author, and raises her son on her own.
This is the first Danielle Steel movie I've watched, I did read the book a long time ago. It is one of my favorites by her. While I don't read her anymore because of sophmoric and formulatic plots, I still enjoy romantic movies with happy endings.
I really wanted to watch this for the snippet of Rex Smith as I have been a fan for more than half my life. It turned out to be a nice story, with the usual Steel plot twists with tragedy(even a glimpse of the twin towers), romance, drama, and tie it all up with a happy ending.

This movie I know you will like after watching all Of Danielle Steels movies I have to say Its one of her best. I have seen all her movies and I own 18

I thought this was a great movie. As usual Danielle Steel has done it again. Worth watch more than once.

An author comes to terms with her personal achievements and tragedies. Based on the novel by Danielle Steel. She has to Make a new life after the untimely death Of her husband and child soon after there death she finds out she's going to have another baby. After the baby's born she finds out he's deaf after taking special classes to learn all she can about her sons handicap she meets a man and he becomes apart of there family

absolutley the best movie ever! the most heart warming plot ever!

I saw the television version of once in a lifetime, and the jeffery character was played by Rex Smith who is also a singer also. would have liked uncut version of movie because viewer usually misses something. storyline somewhat confusing if you come in the middle of story, glad the lead female chose the right man. young actor who played her son, excellent. hope that Mr. Smith does more film work with Ms. Wagner. his part in this film too short. his talent is unrated like Mr. Bostwicks. good to watch on quiet afternoon or snowy day!!

I HAVE ALREADY SEEN THIS ON VHS SO WAS REALLY THRILLED TO HEAR OF IT'S AVAILABILITY ON DVD. UNFORTUNATELY TO IT ARRIVING LOSE IN A BROKEN INSIDE CASING, I WILL NEED TO REORDER IT. I'M SURE IT WILL BE FINE SOON AS I CAN BE SENT THE DVD NOT SCRATCHED DUE TO PACKAGING ERROR. THIS HAS HAPPENED FROM AMAZON ALOT AND IT'S ANNOYING. STILL I WILL GIVE THEM A CHANCE TO SEND IT OUT IN A PROPER WAY SO I CAN VIEW IT. ALL THE OTHER'S I'VE VIEWED SO FAR HAVE BEEN FINE FROM THE DANIELLE STEEL COLLECTION.

I am a fan of both Barry Bostwick and Lindsay Wagner so this one is one of my favorites. I tend to not watch most romance movies, but this one is a stand out one for me. I was totally drawn in to both characters. Barry Bostwick is dreamy in this drama!

This movie is very heart touching. it a great family film.this movie makes you feel like you are right there going though her pain and joy. over all it a wonderful moive.
