Karry Best movie of this year hands down!

Catangro After playing with our expectations, this turns out to be a very different sort of film.

Bessie Smyth Great story, amazing characters, superb action, enthralling cinematography. Yes, this is something I am glad I spent money on.

Noelle The movie is surprisingly subdued in its pacing, its characterizations, and its go-for-broke sensibilities.

DennisAlexis "Lace" is an American mini-series from 1984, directed by Billy Hale and based on the popular novel by Shirley Conran.Judy Hale, Pagan Trelowney and Maxine Pascal used to be best friends in the sixties, while attending the same boarding school in the Swiss Alps. Twenty years later, a glamorous movie star named Lili, summons the three women to her hotel, asking them: "Which one of you bitches it my mother?"I first saw "Lace" as a kid, when the series was rerun on Swedish television in the nineties. I was so impressed by the powerful women, exotic locations and over-the-top story lines. A couple of years later, after my fascination with the eighties had begun, "Lace" was rerun yet again. This time around, I was old enough to fully enjoy this wonderful series.I'm a big fan of trashy mini-series, especially from the eighties. But even though some parts of "Lace" could be considered trashy, it's a lot better than people give it credit! The acting is solid. Bess Armstrong, Brooke Adams and Arielle Dombasle all play their parts as glamorous and powerful women beautifully.But my personal favourite is of course the amazing Phoebe Cates, known from eighties classics "Gremlins" and "Fast Times At Ridgemont High". She plays the strong, yet vulnerable Lili perfectly, bringing both sexiness and innocence to the complexed character.Worth mentioning is that Angela Lansbury, of "Murder, She Wrote" fame, plays a small part as Maxine's aunt Hortense. She has the worst French accent in the history of fake accents, but who cares? It's Angela Lansbury for God's sake!Also worth mentioning is the amazing soundtrack composed by Nick Bicât. Hearing the iconic theme song gives me goosebumps every time. The soundtrack finally available to buy digitally and physically from the composer's official website. It also includes the beautiful Deniece Williams track "No More Lies" from the sequel "Lace II"."Lace" can be considered trashy and campy, but it's a lot better than most mini-series from the era. It's definitely one of my personal favourites. If you enjoy soap operas such as "Dynasty" and "Falcon Crest", I'm sure you'll love "Lace"!"Lace" is available as a print-on-demand DVD from Amazon US. However, an official DVD have been released here in Scandinavia, and this edition can be imported from Amazon UK.

newyorktalk LOL! This was a FAMILY EVENT back when I was about...oh...12-13 years old. The whole family sat down - My Mom, My sister and myself and watched every second of this. Eating it up. We were really into it. When Lili brings the three friends together and goes "Which one of you bitches is my mother!?" - LOFL! ahhhh man. What memories. They don't make 'em like this anymore. Classic 80's over the top - wonderfulness!I was just having a wave of nostalgia - thinking about the Original V - you know - with the reptiles dressed as people who come to earth all friendly and cozy - but are really eating people - but the females were sexy. and thornbirds - with richard chamberlain - he was a priest or something in that one, right? So I started thinking about this mini- series that I remember my whole family watched and was excited about. I looked and looked and I remembered the word Lace was in it so I googled that - and voila - got to this page - if the DVD was available, I'd order that just to have it to watch one more time in its entirety. the 80's.......good times.

asierramoore2002 I have been trying for many years to get my hands on an original taped copy of the miniseries and have just been able to do so. Copies of this miniseries are extremely rare! Lace, the miniseries, is the best miniseries I have ever seen on TV. I saw this when I was about ten and fell in love with the glamor, the mystery, the romance, the suspense and the actors. Someone made a comment about the acting being shallow, however I say that the acting was superb. The quality of the production reminded me of old romantic masterpieces. Phoebe Cates,Brooke Adams, Bess Armstrong, Arielle Dombasle, and Anthony Higgins all give stunning performances. Lace II is also equally intriguing. My only wish is that Lorimar or the company currently owning the rights to this series will start making DVD copies for sale! Why can't one purchase this magnificent series on Amazon, or anywhere? Lace seems to be a gem in hiding.

triple8 Well, people may not have LIKED Lace but everyone seems to have SEEN it so I figure the actors/actresses, producers, directors and writers etc were laughing all the way to the bank.No Lace isn't a masterpiece. Well in a way it is but not the way other movies are. If you could call it a movie-more like an epic. Lace is decadent 80's glitz-But sometimes decadent 80's glitz can be fun. Cates fit the role, was there another actress in that era more exotically beautiful then Cates? She fit Lilli to a tee.That said-BE WARNED-WATCH LACE AT YOUR OWN RISK!! Be prepared to forego any plans you might have for the day, make something to eat AHEAD of time, and if any of your miffed friends and family members get upset pray you can sit em down for 5 minutes so it has the same effect on them which is to basically render them immobile for the length of time the mini-series runs.Of coarse this is all because of that one burning question:it's the question we need to know, the question that haunts us, nags at us, makes us do incredibly odd things like not go to sleep even though our head is spinning, or miss dinner even though we suffer from low blood sugar....That all-important encompassing question is this:Who is the mother of this girl? Not that the answer really matters since the mothers are pretty much interchangable. But this does not matter. the question cries out for an answer and you just can't-you won't-leave the television until the answer is known.SPOILER:The answer comes pretty quickly(NOT!!) Aproximately 4 MAYBE 5 minutea(if that) before the series ends-then you will feel really mad at yourself for watching in the first place.So if this sounds like your cup of tea-watch Lace nest time its on-I actually enjoyed it in a sick addicted kind of way.In all seriuosness-this movie would have been really great had it only been about half a day shorter.
