... View MoreA profound movie.A most powerful Holocaust account on film.An imaginary yet credible formulation of a relationship between members of Teutonic background with Jewish background after the defeat of Hitler.The ring, a precious German family heirloom, is introduced early in the story, but is put aside until near the drama's end when in a manner that would have taxed Sherlock Holmes, provides the avenue to the resolution.Perhaps the saddest yet gladdest tale conceived. Its conclusion will have you sobbing in league with all of the surviving characters.View this masterpiece to recreate your faith in humankind a la a Walt Disney fairy tale.
... View MoreI like this film because it shows just what a person can go through by losing her family and her husband to the war it shows just how a person uses their character, it is a film of extreme courage and it appeals to me in every way this film and the writer daniella Steel have done a GREAT job well done
... View MoreCaution is usually advised when a movie with the words "Danielle" and "Steel" in the title is on, and "Danielle Steel's The Ring" is no exception. Going from laughable to mildly watchable, this two-parter sees Nastassja Kinski as the grown-up daughter of a wealthy German couple - the female part of which committed suicide after the Nazis killed her Jewish lover - whose life falls apart in the wake of WWII; separated from her father and brother, loses her lover in the fall of Berlin, goes to the US disguised as a Jew...Though the beautiful Miss Kinski is for most of the film at least ten years too old for her role (given a hand by the cinematographer), she holds this often ridiculous tale together - too many coincidences and silly dialogue make it hard to take seriously, and Michel Legrand's score works overtime to fill in what the plot and in some cases the actors don't provide. (The actress playing our heroine's brother's wife is a particularly strong liability.) And yet, somehow I had to admit the conclusion did work... or maybe I'm just a big softy at heart. Not a must, but not as unbearable as I had thought it would be.
... View MoreA work of art . The film was a great piece of tv film making the acting was good. One of the greatest of Daniel Steel's work . The story was told beautifuly with great compassion and resolve. Althought the film did have drawbacks . The lack of actual historical content . In particular did not drum across the German side well enough . Otherwise a great work compared to others like it including woman at war the bbc's story of life in nazi Germany
