Young, innocent, and gullible, Marie-France Pisier falls for a hotshot flyboy, John Beck, at the start of WWII. He takes advantage of her love and promises to marry her when the war is over, but of course he never contacts her again. Marie-France vows to get revenge and make him regret he ever done-her-wrong - but she certainly takes her time! As the saying goes, "Revenge is a dish best served cold."
At the time, The Other Side of Midnight was a pretty naughty movie. Marie-France uses sex to get ahead, so I'd put the kids to bed before watching the famous "ice cubes" scene. Also, there's an upsetting abortion Marie-France has to endure - but back in the 1940s, there was no birth control pill. What did she think would happen? This is definitely a soapy, heavy drama, so if you like those kinds of movies, invite a bunch of your girlfriends over and pop some champagne. Be sure and keep it "on ice"!
Kiddy Warning: Obviously, you have control over your own children. However, due to sexual and adult content, I wouldn't let my kids watch it.
