Yes! You can have a male friend for years and then he'll show his true colours! You end up not trusting a single person. ☹️

I have 2 cats. Absolutely love their company
My late husband had this, hanging In his shop! Nice to know the original!❤
It's funny that your husband had this sign hanging in his shops he needed people more than anyone else!! He was so brave!!😀
Nah this movie is definitely not for me. We've got enough REAL political chaos going at the moment for a lifetime chaos
I was not expecting the twist. Poor war nurse who went through all that just to have it dismissed. This harasment stuff is no joke
Great story, cast and acting. Just so sad to see what people do for a good story and to be elected.
The acting is perfect. The theme is eternal: lack of conscience & moral for the sake of power.Victims are 'byproduct'. Has anything changed since then? Thank you for the film.
Well told and acted story. Just for once, and more true to life, no Hollywood 'happy ending'.

Jane Seymour is brilliant. Fabulous storyline, great cast and impressive flick.
Thank you for sharing this with us.
Watching and appreciative from the Fiji 🇫🇯 Islands.
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I want to thank those who made this movie available, in this time of enforced isolation. All of your movies have been first rate. Just goes to prove, back in the day, we were able to address real issues without offensive language.
Yes. These "older" movies are better in terms of the plots, dialogue etc.
Enforced Isolation? When did this happen? I guess we missed it here. Dang! I love a good Enforced Isolation too! There will be plenty more soon enough, maybe we'll catch those.
Jeff Campbell At least she did not call it quarantine like so many sheeple do. 🤭
@@jeffcampbell2710 Lol!
Man kisses woman and woman did not want to be kissed. Nothing new here.
This movie is GOOD! It takes a few twists and interesting turns. I won't spoil it for you. I had to watch it twice to see what I missed the first time. You won't be sorry watching this one! LOVE Jane Seymour and William Devane in this!!!
Yeah... I think i'll watch it again too!🤷🏻♀🤦🏻♀
Don’t appreciate actor Devane. Just as a character.
Jane Seymour is a great talent.....today Nobody is able to say the Truth ( even to dream )!!! Unfortunately !
We will turn it around this year.
SMUDGE EEE Not. 🤭 Oh, how man loves to be deceived.
And the good guys lost.
This movie shows exactly the truth about politics backstages and shadow governments. Excellent movie 👏👏👏Thanks for the upload. ❤️
And also the underhanded way the media behaves.
@@lynda4199 it’s true.
“The more I get to know people, the more I love my cats.”
Me.
Nice performances from Linda Purl, Jane Seymour, and Bruce Greenwood.
Good movie -- thanks so much for posting!
Thank you for this great movie. In my opinion, if Jane Seymour is in it - Watch It ! : )
The more Jane Seymour films you can add, the better! Thank you!
@Lady Jupiter I saw one the other day with her speaking like someone from Arizona. Awful. Why not get an American actress, or use Jane as an English woman. What is the point of using an English actress and having her play an American woman?
@Solitaire Can't remember, it was a while ago, but it sounds familiar. I watched a film with Liam Neeson trying to be American, and I thought they should have used his Irishness, and if the film really called for a US man, then USE ONE!
@Solitaire They have always made such a thing in the UK about Jane Seymour being the classical English beauty, even though her Dad was Jewish and she was of Polish origin. Casting her with a fake US accent was silly.
What with her teeth needed sunglasses
“Don’t you realize we put a sociopath in the Whitehouse?” “He won’t be the first one” - prescient.
Precisely ! They got "Trumped" ? But their ratings went through the roof. "Foxy" machiavellian political and media manoeuvres to manipulate the (dumbed down) "Sheeple". This is how The Don and "Sir" Rupert (Murdock) operate. Thanks for the conspiracy (reality show) revelations. (PS - Do not follow - "Sir" Bob Maxwell or Princess Ghislane.)
All leaders of this world r physcopaths. Hitler Stalin Mussolini Trump need I go on. Mother nature will get rid of us as we r not a nice species. Leave the planet to the animals 🙂

The ending is the best part, I think. As it makes it clear that television is just another business running after money, not after information, let alone the truth.

If you need a film to tell you that you haven't been paying attention the past two years.

@@Talletc more than 2 years
Fritz Smith Do the words fake, news and plandemic mean anything to you? Well, never mind that. We've got bigger fish to fry for Sloppy Joe is singlehandedly going to cause WWIII.
Can anyone explain the ridiculous plot to me? What are they saying the Jean Douglas was the senator's fiancée and she fabricated the sexual harassment thing to make the senator win at the end? Then what's the story with Ms. Gonzales? Why did she need to stall Jane Seymour? She could have given her the OK in the beginning and then tell the public about the engagement then? Why did she stall? And why when she taped the sexual harassment she looked so shocked and frightened? She played a game after all? This just doesn't make any sense.
Whether or not Jean Douglas actually was the senator's fiancee is immaterial. The ending of the movie was head-scratching to me, too, until I remembered a scene from early on. I went back and checked, and, sure enough, it was BEFORE Jean Douglas audio-taped the encounter with the Senator in his office. First there is the campaign manager clandestinely paying off the young lady who said the senator attempted to rape her in an elevator. When the campaign manager returns to the limousine, he asks if he can speak frankly with the senator and talks about the senator's "woman problem." He concludes with, and the senator nods in agreement, "We need a strategy." That contextualizes the other bookend, namely the exchange in the TV studio where Allison confronts Jean with "I thought you were my friend" and Jean answers, "Yes, that's why I came to you." Jean came to Allison as part of the campaign strategy. Jean initiated the dinner with Ally (probably reimbursed by the campaign). She played Ally because "If that bastard is going to the White House, I'm going with him."
@@Famijoly I too was not sure of the twist so ur saying the tape Jean made was not real (or was it) and that the whole thing with Jean confronting Alison about sexual harrassment was a ploy? Then why have Ally running around trying to find others who were sexually harrassed by him? Plus Jean was demoted when she didn't accept Hunter's advances. Anyway I'm still not sure if I get it. lol
This movie will stay relevant for many years to come. Excellent plot & acting.
Was this your first movie?
@@starvingartistful ya just came back from South pole. This was the first movie I hv seen since I was born
@@starvingartistfulis this your first mean comment or do you churn them out regularly?
Years on and nothing has changed.
@Jane Abbott, yup, only the press people are even more treacherous now.
Oh it's changed, for the worse.
Jane Seymour and William Devane in the same movie...
What a treat!
There are lots of good comments here already but there is one observation that I can add.
I have noticed that Bruce Greenwood can play a sort of dirty dog character in a movie but he doesn't come across as completely despicable. The Jake character knows exactly who and what he is and he makes no apologies for it. He says that he isnt married because he is looking for someone who knows what he is and is good with that. At the end of the movie, he also makes a statement about things being the way they are and him just doing what he needed to do. Despite the fact that he was using the Allison Character, he still felt that they had some sort of moment. It makes me think of the Roderick Usher character that Greenwood played more recently who was also not of the best character but admitted that he was who he was and that when it came to the truth, he was a kidder. It takes something special to portray the dark side of our society in terms of the greed, ambition and the willingness to use others for their own ends without completely demonizing the character. The reality is that many in society say and do bad things to get ahead without necessarily being complete sociopaths. In fact, there are elements in Western culture which promote doing so. Perhaps many, if not most, people have done something they knew was wrong at some point in their lives to get ahead and these characters show us that. The William Devane character was the same in some ways but less self-aware. I think that this movie provides an opportunity to reflect on the dark side of our culture.
Why did they (the reporters) have to in up in bed in this movie. Seems like gratuitous sex.
Great movie ! Absolute truth could'nt get any better .
Devane is ALWAYS good too One of the best actors
And my dad always said nothing in life is free, this whole movie was free.
Edit: WHY IS THE REPORTERS NAME JAKE SLAUGHTER 🤣🤣🤣
Did they read Bill and Hilary Clinton's correspondence to come up with this screenplay?
Its legal as long as one of the parties knows there's a recording taking place???? Of course one does, theyre the one recording. What sort of stupid law is that? It didnt even need to be a law because naturally they know they're recording!
I didn't like this movie. The ending sucked because of obvious reasons 👎
Can't face reality of my life now, therefore watching this. Thank you.
Keep your head up. ABSOLUTELY NOTHING is worth your joy. Although it feels like your world is crumpling, the pain, embarrassment or whatever you are feeling WILL pass. Please don't let your circumstances keep you from being a survivor. Sending you love and lots of hugs.🥰🥰🥰🥰 YOU ARE GREAT.
This seems like it could have been a take off on the clinton administration!!!
Such a good movie, be careful what you tell others it may come back to bite you.
Is this a true story?
Great movie. Ending was not expected at all. God bless whoever is reading this‼️🙏
Blessings to u also Ms Cathy

Amen! Bless you too🙏🏼
Amen, bless you too darling ❤
Hi Cathy, how are you doing?
God bless you as well
I watched this till the end -- looking for that fantastic ending some stupe commented on -- I Love Jane Seymour but this was so so with a really lousy ending !!
Exactly! The ending was so weak. The story and all pre-recordings including the ex-Military woman's footage should've been Released which would've prompted the Girl who was given money, to come forward. Alison should've Recorded a Full conversation & Confession from her Friend as a _back up_ especially when they were alone in the hotel room knowing this woman was more interested in the Whitehouse & her Career than what this Guy does to Women. This recording would've been released on the Air after the double-cross where both Jean & the Senator would've been interrogated and called out Live on air for her _being bought_ by the Senator & covering up for him. This Guy would've never made it to the Whitehouse.
Of course in Real Life he would've like many Politicians in Office and Supreme Court justices since no one cares what they do to women.
Good movie, at least it has a moral to it and that is don’t believe everything you see or hear on TV. Especiallly if you live in Canada!!!!
This shows the lack of morality, blindness, and level of acceptance people have today focusing and selling our souls on things of NO VALUE (career, political power, money, etc.), when compared and weighed by the value of our souls and consciousness. For career, political power, money, etc. are the same as the hills in the desert up one day and gone the next as easily as it was built. But the value of our souls and consciousness is forever.
A surprising ending.
Rare Films, you did a great job with this copy.
Не стоит наделять мужчин несуществующими качествами . Лучше всего это объяснить девочке до начала периода полового созревания.
Wow!! So much truth! Good movie in light of today's headlines.
"We put a sociopath in the White House. It wouldn't be the first time. "
I think the guy trying to romance Jane Seymour is almost as slezy and repulsive as the politician!
He is. He sleeps with whoever he works with then gives them a token; that stupid whistle. He's just there playing Devil's advocate and advancing his Career.
I was like why would you give a woman a whistle 😒
Hi
‘ NO COMMENT’
Shalom to us only in Christ Jesus Yeshua returning soon to reign over His Creation from Jerusalem forever.
As Cher says " And the beat goes on ". The truth is covered up, but someday it will all come to the light.
Yeah, even though this movie was made in the late 90's, after the Clinton's, rather than since Trump got elected.
Cher is a lefty nut
Yes, that’s right! On judgment day!
Yes, after he Rapes Multiple women while in power and he won't pay for it because by then too many years would've gone by.

Nice twist at the end. Don't be totally seduced by any force fed media campaigns, investigate and you too will be quite amazed by your findings.
Devane is great in any role he role he plays, as is Jane Seymour. Thanks 😊
Yes love their movies
Very well done movie!!! Jane Seymour was great as usual… And I don’t know the name of the actor playing Jake, but he was great! He has been in all of his roles before… And so good looking! And the blonde gal friend of Jane Seymour ‘s in the movie… Don’t remember the name of all the characters or the actors! Anyway, she is really good! Plus all The other actors/actresses! Thank you very much, any and all!
Great story and script. Jane Seymour so good as always. So happy i found this.
Hi Sheila, how are you doing?
Same 😊
Yeah, no. One of the worst movies I've seen. Guy got away with it. No one made him pay
It's eerie how prophetic this film has turned out to be.
Right?!!!
Let's go Brandon 😂
Good movie that ending was crazy I love these old movies.I really enjoy this movie,movies now a days are b.s thanks for uploading.
Jane seymour still beautiful. Handsome Bruce Greenwood
Bruce is beautiful.
Hi Christine
@@johnwood7295 Hi 👋
Good movie! Unfortunately, still timely☹️
In one of the critical first scenes the background music drowns out the dialogue. An all too common problem.
1997 - 2022 = 25 years on, what's changed??
Developments.. on all scales! Bad and good!
Not often you see the bad guy win. Good movie though with an end I didn't expect.
Can you please add more movies of Jane Seymour, especially in this quarantine ❤❤
Victoria Sarkodie It's not quarantine. It's forced isolation. Quarantine is for people who've contracted an illness.
@@Southamericangirl42 Quarantine? I was shocked really! Nice ms. Southamericangirl42.. 👍
The senator give my the creeps......😝😝😝😝😝
William Devane looks like an estranged relative of the Kennedy family.
Election more inportant than elegel adoption
To think 🤔 I’m studying #journalism now... it’s tough
William Devane always played the part of a sleezeball in films. Not much way around it, though, as he simply “ looks “ the part.
Couldn't watch this because it's too true and too frustrating still. Like watching unpleasant reality.
the same. You aren't alone.
Gosh, how I missed premillennial Toronto.
Thank you for the great movie.
Love Jane Seymour.
❤
Great movie, one of the best in this period of quarantine. Please post more.

Hi Carmeljann
Hello
Hi carmeljoann, how are you?
Oh wow, am I the only one that noticed one of her eyes is green and the other brown?
Alison should've kept things professional instead of going to bed with Jake who just screws women he works with. She would've been more Focused & Discreet, not _'Used for a big story'_ and things would've gone down much differently. The letter wouldn't have been stolen with that poor lady tracked down, recorded and forced to almost speak. *Her friend was the one who couldn't be trusted. All their conversations* _(not the ex-military woman's)_ *should've been recorded to be **_released on the air after the double-cross where they both would've been_** interrogated by Her & Jake right on the Air* with everything they had. The Story would've *made the News and that girl he tried to Rape in the Elevator would've definitely come forward* as a follow up on Camera. It wouldn't have mattered that her friend backed down and tried to cover for him. *Hope Alison learned from this experience to always cover herself* _(record them)_ in case someone pulls a stunt like that again.
*Well her Friend who sold her Soul for the Whitehouse is the big loser in all this.* She may be 1st lady but in a depressing, loveless marriage with a powerful Husband who will Rape women and get away with it. Thanks to her.
Exactly. The "love story" between Alison and Jake was lame and just sooo phony in comparison with what was at stake. Anyway, the movie was bad and Jane Seymour horribly shallow in a role that asked for more professionalism, as you said.
But would it not be more interesting when at the end of the shared the Latin woman would tell her experience with the senator, that would be the right end!!!
what a fantastic movie just loved it ..thank you so much for all your wonderful uploads
Good movie, thanks for the upload! 💕
love Jane Seymour movies great actress along with many others Cheryl ladd, Linda Lavin. the list goes on lol x
@38:35...it just amazes me that he thinks just because he wants her, she wants Him in return! 😝...yuck.
I know. It is awful that this is the way that some people think. They get away with everything because they think that they can. They have such an inflated view of their self-importance.
That's exactly the way overt narcissistic males think.
Good position, high income, big office, people working under him..... guess what that does to a man's ego and his manhood !
Great movie 📺📡🌆. I responded back to you as soon as I saw your message 😘
GOOD MOVIE JUST LIKE ITS IS STILL TODAY
Bruce Greenwood
Do you have Heart of A Stranger with Jane Seymour? I can't find this film anywhere. Thanks!
Absolute truth indeed.
Wow!!!! This was really good and insightful
Is this based on a true story ??
The monotonous background music is a mental torture!
Wouldn't that be wonderful if we were able to turn it off at will?
As the speech and background music are recorded separately, this should've been possible.
Really well done movie.
I really miss this kind of movies.
Excellent movie ;and Awesome Actors!
Seymour rocks! Devane makes a great villain. Thanks. Enjoyed this. #Metoo
He always does doesn't he
21:00 dang. He just walked didn’t say bye to the interviewer.
Excellent movie, actors, and story!!❤😊
Truth has stumbled in the public square..
These old classic never gets time ,let put the extra butter on that popcorn.😻
I can never remember the name of the actor who plays the politician and I call him "a toad", instead. I don't know why.😂
Wow. Good! A sting in the tail, well written and done!
Those of us who've been sexually harassed at work (and if a woman works with men; it's more likely she HAS than hasn't) we all know the dangers of reporting it. It's not as bad as it was say back in the 80-90's and earlier, but it's still an uphill climb.
This is how it was at work. Every single day some man would do that! They were the resident evil men and the visitors from the headquarters! 😮
July 2024 - He won't be the only psychopath in the white house. Worst of all is at door step, and America is about to let him back in. Lord please save us from Trump!!
Can somebody pls indulge me: Why did Jean Douglas turn out that way in the end? Was she framed up or coerced? Or was her ambition too much to swallow mud just to get it? I'm still heartbroken with the ending.😢
Who is using who? There are no decent or ethical people here.
Yup. None! We wasted our time watching it lol
I dont like being tricked, it s a sick movie
Very good compelling story until it gets to an unneeded, unwanted sex part which I find disgusting. Why take a good story and do this to it?
This movie would make you think there are good politicians and bad politicians, good presidents and bad presidents.... Unfortunately that's not how this world goes.
No need to reach the politicians to find that out. You just need to get to know the people with a little success.
She said, "he's going to the white house and I'm going with him". She is headed for a rude awakening with a guy like that.
So true
Or not. She wants power, too.
Politicians are such parasites!
