Once Is Not Enough [ Blu-Ray, Reg.A/B/C Import - Spain ]

This movie was ahead of its time. It touched on a role reversal of a man relying on a rich woman and sacrifices he made for his only daughter. This movie also touched on bisexuality of a wealthy woman that could have anything she wanted but choose to maintain the status quo. This movie shows the importance of money and status; as well as, the pressure to maintain a high lifestyle. The role of African Americans in films has advanced but great to see the black maid in this film treated like a close trusted friend. All of the actors did a brilliant job and this awesome movie will live on forever. RIP Deborah Raffin (January), Alexis Smith (Deidre), David Janssen (Tom Colt), Lillian Randolph (Mabel), & Melina Mercouri (Carla...Deidre's lesbian lover). Kirk Douglas (Mike), Brenda Vaccaro (Linda), and Gary Conway (Hugh) are still blessed to be here.

A lot of big name stars. By today’s standards would be rated pg.

I bought this DVD especially because of the actor Gary Conway. I've been his devoted fan since his TV series "Land of the Giants". I thought the movie was okay with a special and talented cast, but I was sincerely expecting a "happy end" for January, with someone who really loved her, in this case, Gary as Hugh! This was so clear at that scene on the beach, when she talks "smiling" about being a lover, and about him only as a friend, and he looked at her so disappointed, but still gentlely! They deserved it, but that was my wish! I would love to see them together! Unfortunately, Gary in fact, almost doesn't appear (very little), and besides that, it wasn't so easy to watch the movie without subtitles in Portuguese (what I already knew, being for Region 1), or even in English (what I didn't know), because I'm Brazilian. Something I just can't understand is the reason why all the movies don't have also subtitles in other languages, at least Portuguese, Spanish or French, and why aren't they for "All Region" (what is another problem). English is the universal language, but it isn't the native one in all countries of the world, who also deserve the chance to watch good movies!

Great quality and clarity for an old movie. This brings me back to simpler times with friends at a drive-in. Love the story and the quality of the pictures

Having never read the book, and only going off reviews, I expected the worst from this film. I only watched it to see Brenda Vaccaro’s Oscar-nominated performance, and she was definitely the best part of the film. I admit, overall the film wasn’t that bad, and had some good plot twists and decent acting (Alexis Smith was great as well). The pacing was strong at first, but lost steam with the introduction of David Janssen’s character halfway through. Thankfully Vaccaro was in more scenes than I expected, which help the movie a great deal. Fun flashbacks of the mid-70s in the music, furnishings, and clothes. Worth watching.

I love David Janssen in this. His character is complex and fascinating and he had amazing screen presence and power. Be patient, Janssen fans, he doesn't appear until about halfway through the movie. The story was good. Very different.

I watched it specifically for the scenes of actor Gary Conway because I wanted to see his take on the character of Hugh Richardson from the book. Unfortunately not enough time was spent on January's relationship with this character who was one of my favorites from the book by Jacqueline Suzann.
