Great movie!
I never read the book so I cannot compare, but the movie (in 2 parts) is excellent. Carsten Norgaard is amazing (and quite the handsome man), and Nastassja Kinski is perfect in her role.
Score: 4

One of Danielle Steele's best!!
This story held me captive until I watched the whole thing and I loved it!!! I am a huge fan of D. Steele, and this one really was great. A terrific story for any age, and history lesson to boot, which is always a trademark of Danielle's!!! She tells it so well!!
Score: 5

What in the world!?
Danielle Steel's book was eons better than the movie. The novel was so incredibly descriptive, and I swooned over Captain Manfred Von Tripp. In the movie, well, I couldn't even get past the first half hour. First of all, the opening scene was incredulous: it looked like Dolff and Kassandra were making love in some '80s art deco building. The novel was set against the backdrop of Germany on the brink of a war. And because I'd read the book, well, I was expecting a mansion - not some modern building with steel frames. Anyway, and then the part where the Nazis attacked them was much too abrupt. The book was so in-depth that it created and nurtured a personal relationship between the reader and the characters, but the movie left my head spinning the way the scenes were so abrupt. I thought that Gerhard was supposed to be the annoying but lovable younger brother, but instead, he was getting his game on with that French girl. And the part where Manfred dies - he was supposed to be dead, yet he gave her a sweet smile and seemed to look Ariana right in the face. I dread to see part two. Maybe one day I'll be able to muster the courage to finish the tiresome movie. Really, it was a far cry from the brilliance conceived in the mind of Ms. Steel. Enjoy the book, read these honest reviews, and save yourself the money and the torture.

Danielle Steel's THE RING
I'm not really a Steel fan, however, several years ago I bought the VHS edition (duplicated in horrible EP speed)and sat down to watch it on a rainy Saturday afternoon. I really got engrossed in the story and though I'm not a "romance movie" buff this movie was the exception. It's a very good story and it does grab your attention.
For those of you looking for it in Region 1 DVD it is available. It's not listed as being available on DVD in the Imdb but it is. I have it - paid all of $6.99 for it and the quality is superb.
I notified Imdb of this omission a couple of days ago. I supplied them the information needed and hopefully they'll change it on their service.
Score: 4
