When Larry is given new orders taking him back to America, he tells Noelle that he'll come back for her -- when he doesn't, she becomes bitter and pledges to use men for their money and power, not for love. Noelle goes on to become a famous actress and weds Constantin Demeris (Raf Vallone), a Greek multi-millionaire. But she can't shake her passion for Larry, and eventually she hires him to work as her personal pilot. While at first he does not recognize her, soon Larry and Noelle are once again involved in a torrid affair, and when Larry's wife Catherine (Susan Sarandon) refuses to give him a divorce, he and Noelle begin planning a scheme to arrange an "accidental" death for Catherine. The Other Side of Midnight marked the American debut of actress Marie-France Pisier, following her role in the international success Cousin, Cousine. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

    Very good movie :) Susan Sarandon was fantastic as always and Marie-France Pisier played her part well as the french whore.

    An interesting love story that I thought dragged a bit, but did little to take away from the movie.

    To top it off it had a strange & twisted ending! Not bad!!

    Wanna sexy movie. This one will do the trick. Get swept away in this great story. Very steamy love scenes.

    This movie always reminds me of a friend of mine who is actually Italian and not French like the girl in the movie, but she is still much like her .

This silly, nearly three-hour soaper comes close to attaining 'so bad it's good' status.
