Everything to Gain (1996)

Barbara Taylor Bradford was one of my favourite novelists, but I gave away the books to charity for other people to enjoy.  

This is a poster for Everything to Gain. The poster art copyright is believed to belong to the distributor of the film, the publisher of the film or the graphic artist.

Based on: Everything to Gain novel by Barbara Taylor Bradford

Story by: Barbara Taylor Bradford

Jack Scalia was a big crush of mine in the 1990s because he was very sexy and he was such a great onscreen kisser.  Oh my gosh, I am admitting something like this for everyone to read.  I can't help it.  That was really the case during the 1990s.

Sean Young is one of my favourite leading ladies in the 1980s to the 1990s.  Until now she's very active in the industry and she is like wine...

Her likeness was used in Blade Runner 2049 because she was in the original Blade Runner.

Charles Shaughnessy(CS) is such a beloved actor.  He played a very endearing man who loves his wife and kids.  Andrew was someone not easy to forget and CS made it easy for me to believe that.

Samantha Eggar, one of the hottest stars of her time, was a very ideal mother-in-law in this TV movie.

Joanna Miles played a 55-year-old woman who has a youngish face, but her hair was white.  She felt she doesn't recognize herself anymore when she looks in the mirror. She played it well. 

Anne Ramsay played the role of the best friend of Mallory quite well.

I won't make a roll call anymore.

I like the story, script, acting and direction, but I think it will take a long, long time for me to watch this again, if ever I would.
