This film is one of my guilty pleasures. Despite its medicore script, this film isn't bad. For some reason it intrigues me.

Have you read the book it is based on? I haven't, but want too.

I haven't read the book. I always meant to but never got around to it.

I saw it once in a used bookstore and passed it up. I regretted it and went back a few days later but it was gone. I'm sure it will be a good read.

It will be interesting to see the differences and similarities between the original literary versions of Sebastian & Katherine and the screen adaptations.
