I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

Entertaining from beginning to end, it maintains the spirit of the franchise while establishing it's own seal with a fun cast

A terrific literary drama and character piece that shows how the process of creating art can be seen differently by those doing it and those looking at it from the outside.

An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Many, many, many years before, Thomas Carmichael (Walter Pidgeon) had his wife, Caroline (Donna Mills) put into suspended animation as she lay dying--in the hope that one day she can be revived from deep freeze and be cured. Now, 35 years later, she's awakened and her heart condition corrected and life is grand...right?! Well, maybe...maybe not. It seems that this pretty young woman is married to an old man and her children are older than she is! And, she knows very few people. Obviously, it will take some time to adjust to her new life. What takes longer to deal with is her deranged daughter...and that girl has some SERIOUS issues!!I liked the idea of a woman waking up after decades and seeing how much things have changed as well as the strain this would put on a marriage. I really think the whole deranged daughter angle muddled this idea and was more of a distraction than anything else. Either do a psychotic daughter film OR make one about a woman frozen and then thawed decades later and her adjustment to life post-thaw...but not both. As a result, the film really lost me and it just seemed muddled. It could have been, and SHOULD have been, so much better.

You know the kind of movie that, when you describe it out loud to someone else, sounds utterly ridiculous? Well this is one of those films. Thing is, though, 'Live Again, Die Again' is actually a pretty decent film. Donna Mills, as always, is gorgeous as the main character who's been cryogenically frozen for over 30 years and comes home to find everyone changed. Even harder for her to come to grips with is the fact that her daughter is apparently certifiable. And what's worse, she's got a lot of angst from growing up sans mama and seems to be intent on destroying anything that reminds her of her mother...especially her mother herself. Even though the slight 'twist' is somewhat predictable, there's still a lot of fantastic suspense build up in this film. It held my attention quite well. My only complaint is in the editing of the final scenes. The odd choice to use multiple shots in one frame and over the top of one another actually made it hard to figure out what was going on....and that's not a good thing when you're dealing with the climax of the movie. This is certainly not one of the best movie ever made. It's not even the best TV movie ever made, but all in all, it's a forgotten film that's worth giving a go. You won't be disappointed.

I have the vaguest recollection of this film when it came on TV. I remember Mike Farrell sitting at the dinner table, going "Mommy's home, Mommy's home" so I understood that she was supposed to be his mother.And I remember her running to hug her husband, Walter Pigeon, who now was an old man.Wouldn't mind seeing it again tho, now for it's nostalgia, but it did seem wonderfully melodramatic.Donna Mills seemed more at ease in pieces like this than she did on Knots Landing.It seems like there did emerge a mystery of some sorts, that someone was trying to kill her. I don't even recall how it ended, I was so young, but I often think of this movie when I think of other films like Five Deserpate Women and Elevator.

Donna Mills really was and is a good actress. Too bad she didn't get more roles like this and was stuck on "Knots Landing" for so long. This is another one of those great "Made for TV" movies. Here she plays a woman brought back to life after being frozen for many years, which in itself was ahead of it's time as the subject was in the news years later. Her kids are now older than she is, and are quite bitter that they were not only deprived of their mother but are somewhat jealous that she looks like a fashion model while they are old and saggy! The skeletons keep flying out of the closets in this "70's noir thriller". Good cast and direction keep your interest. It's sad there are not more actors around today who can compare with these. The story is a little hokey but the charisma and talent of cast keep this interesting. There ought to be a "Made for TV Movie" Channel on cable!
