Intrguingly Naughty.......2007-02-24

This is a wonderful movie of human determination, love, passion, and betrayal. It keeps you on your feet as the story is told switching back and forth from the past to the present. Maxi (Valerie Bertinelli) is a very colorful and dynamic character. Her ability to switch from a spoiled brat to a business woman gives her quite an insight into the real world. Not having daddy to bail her out or anywhere to run after her failed marriages teaches her to grow up and to make concesions in life. Rocco (Jack Sealia) one of Maxi's husbands has also a hand in her understanding the real world. Maxi's determination in that her coniving uncle Cutter Amberville ( Perry King) does not destroy the magazine empire her father built and in not losing Rocco forever makes this a movie to watch. All the actors are wonderful and you just love to hate Perry King. All in all this is a movie to watch. It raise many different emotions once you see it.

I'll Take Manhattan.......2006-11-04

Great drama of a wealthy family torn between greed, love and running an empire. Starring great actors like Barry Boswick and Jack Scialia and of course Perry King.....what more can you ask for?

An excellent plot that keeps you glued to the screen to see what will happen next. This is a mini series made in the tradition when filmmakers actually knew how to make great mini series and compromised on nothing.

I saw this series on TV in the late 70's and when I saw that it was recently released in DVD I grabbed it. It was so well made that I'll Take Manhattan (the catchy title) just remained a pleasant memory.

Make this great stylish production a part of your memory too and buy a copy. You will not be disappointed and you will be spending some long hours on real quality viewing. It's a PROMISE!!!
