This is a beautifully crafted tale that will not only captivate and entertain you, it will also pull at your heart strings, from the begining to the end. The story is set before and during ,the Second World War, and follows the lives of two people with different lives,loyalties and responsibilities, who meet and through the devistation and pain of the onset of War they are drawn together. They embark in a relationship which not only proves to be an undying love,but one that seems also forbidden, and only the War can decide it's outcome. A truely moving story, ideal for any fan of Danielle Steels work,or anyone who just loves a good Romance against all odds. Cheryl Ladd and Lee Horsley are Perfect, and lead a good strong cast. Certainly a Production to watch again and again.

Crossings is a story set in pre-war and during WW2 America.
Cheryl Ladd plays Liane DeVilliers, a beautiful young socialite who marries her fathers best friend, Armand De Villiers,a French diplomat,played by Christopher Plummer.
The title "Crossings" refers to the ship travel popular at that time, as travellers and business men go from Europe to America and back again by ship, in this case, the luxurious Normandie.
It is on one of these crossings that the De Villiers (Liane and her two daughters) meet the Burnahams, Nick (Lee Horsley) and his spoilt, unfaithful wife Hilary, played by Jane Seymour.
Other notable cinema favourites, Stewart Grainger, Joan Fontaine, and the great German actor, Horst Buchholz, all play roles in this love story/drama.
Armand insists that Liane and their daughters sail for America as France is engulfed in war.
Nick and Liane share the dangers of the crossing on board the Normandie and when disaster strikes, they find themselves falling inlove.
I think what saves Crossings from becoming another over acted,
soap box parody is largely due to the good work done by the cast.
The love that deepens between Nick and Liane eventually cannot be denied,they meet again in the USA and in a time of great turmoil they begin their affair.
The great disappointment for me is that unlike other Danielle Steel novels, Crossings seems to have been neglected and is not included in the array of Steel books now available on DVD.
Hopefully, this situation will be remedied soon and Crossings can take it's rightful place as DS's best work.

This mini-series is very gripping - as in the previous two reviews - I agree with wholeheartedly - you have to watch - you can't stop watching. Cheryl shows her true acting skills as indeed does Lee - you can enter into the story. I'm so glad I bought this video mini-series - even better if it was available on DVD. I enjoyed immensely! You won't be disappointed.
