- An Overlooked Gem
This movie has gotten some unnecessarily bad press. It's basically a Cinderella story with wine. The performances are excellent and the Louis Jourdan subplot is clever. This is a straightforward romantic comedy with some international adventure elements. The script is by the great William Goldman. I've seen it again and again. It's sweet and endearing and the wine information is accurate. Check it out. You have nothing to lose and you probably have a wine-loving friend or two who will find it fun.

- "I can't believe we're doing all this for a beverage."
Tim Daly seems to be known more for his moments on television than for his ventures into motion picture. He really just doesn't have a lot of defining roles in cinema. In the small screen, he starred memorably in WINGS and then, more recently, in the very short lived THE FUGITIVE and THE NINE. And, lest the fanboys forget, he was the voice of the WB's animated Superman in the mid to late '90s. But he did have that one movie, even if it's not that well known. One of the very few of his cinematic efforts which does stand out in my mind - even to this day - is 1992's YEAR OF THE COMET, which is a modest and lighthearted foray into a world where wine, skullduggery, and the quest for eternal youth bump heads. Tim Daly is outstanding as Oliver Plexico, the boorish, semi-dashing hero with the lower ... Read More

- It was a very bad year...
This movie is bad. Not VERY Bad, but bad enough. Penelope Miller has neither the sex appeal or charisma to be a heroine, and Tim Daly (with his moustache) comes across as a former porn star in his first "legitimate" role.

I bought it because I collect wine and was very interested to see an adventure movie with a rare bottle of Lafite at its center. Sadly, the scenes of rare wine in musty cellars are few, and I hated to see the Impériale of Lafite treated so badly.

If you want to buy it because you're interested in wine, don't. There's not enough of it. If you're interested because it's an action/adventure move, don't. It has little of either.

- Can't play in the USA - Region 2
BUYER BEWARE! This DVD is Region 2 and is not viewable on US DVD players. The seller will refuse to refund your purchase price if you have opened the case. The fact that it is REGION 2 is in the very small print under DVD format. Do not buy this DVD unless you have a player which can play region 2 discs. The movies is good fun, however. Hummie Mann's soundtrack is delightful.
