Review of The Other Side of Midnight

Composer Michel Legrand wrote over 200 film scores and this is one of his very best...such a pity it was wasted on a rather tawdry story. Never seemingly issued on CD either and the movie itself has never, as far as I'm aware, been shown on TV in the UK. Marie-France Pisier was an actress (sic) whom I had not previously encountered and I would like to see more of her...work. The melodramatic nature of this movie reminds me of Portrait In Black (1956?) starring Anthony Quinn and Lana Turner, both giving over the top performances, which I saw as a kid...the fact that I still remember it shows what an impression it made on me. Never shown on UK TV either.
