This highly successful tv-miniseries is perhaps the one that ignited the success of the miniseries genre. Although, there are others who came before this, it was RAGE OF ANGELS who ignited the "mania." Of course, there was Richard Chamberlain starring in all those other successful miniseries based on books and him as a King of the genre but it was Jaclyn Smith's "Jennifer Parker" that gave the glitter and excitement and that finally,a woman is about to claim a throne and she really shine in this beautifully adapted version of Sidney Sheldon's novel.

All of a sudden, people started rushing to read and re-read the book and even the video released during the 80's was a big hit. People who have seen the movie on tv wanted to get a copy and you can hear people talking about the movie during lunch time or coffee break.

Ive never seen Jaclyn Smith more beautiful and her on-screen chemistry with Ken Howard is probably one of the sexiest that has emerged in the small screen for a long time.

This one is a worthy addition to your collection.

This film was incredible. The book, likewise. It's one of the few films based on novels that I have seen that are extremely faithful to the novels theyre based on. Perhaps because the author of the novel did sit in the producer's chair after all! Quite a lengthy film- A bit over three hours- but it's so good that you dont even feel the time passing by. Jaclyn Smith's beauty and talent also are evident in this film that has everything- romance, drama, courtroom tension, suspense, action- you name it, it's there. A great, great film. Read the book! Watch the film!

i enjoyed it, but not a much as the first of the story. the picture quality is ok not prestine. the sound is good.

I read the book and looked forward to sharing the video with my husband. His comment was "I am sure the book was much better". I told him it was. Don't waste your time. Read the book instead - it is really good!

I haven't watched it yet but I'm sure it will be as good as the book.

Jaclyn Smith was the girlfriend of a well-known personality who was married with one child. They were very much in-love with each other. Jaclyn was trying to avoid him although she loves him very much, because of the guys status (married). The guy loves her very much too, that he sneaks out from his wife to meet her. The last meeting was arranged by the well-known personality guy and jaclyn was picked up by his men to meet him.

Years later, the guy was with his family and he saw Jaclyn walking with a boy (without knowing was his son).

Note :
I have been looking for this movie for a long time for my collection. I saw this movie in Dubai, United Arab Emirates last 18 years ago.
