StyleSk8r At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

Usamah Harvey The film's masterful storytelling did its job. The message was clear. No need to overdo.

Derrick Gibbons An old-fashioned movie made with new-fashioned finesse.

Lachlan Coulson This is a gorgeous movie made by a gorgeous spirit.

scscott45 I never saw the TV series of the same name; just the movie. I really don't know how they made a series out of it, as the movie was perfect just the way it was made. It is simply a charming, warmhearted, funny little story that was totally enjoyable, and I have remembered it all these years after seeing it. I looked it up on the net just on a whim tonight, and got enthusiastic and lonesome for it all over again, so I just ordered a copy of it online from overstock.com. I can't wait to show this movie to my daughter; I'm certain she will love it as much as I do. I was glad to discover that it has other fans as well. If you've never seen the movie version, do yourself a favor and check it out!

karian333 I loved the movie Bagdad Cafe with CCH Pounder and really liked the little I saw of the TV series with Jean Stapleton and Whoopi Goldberg. I would love to have those original TV episodes. I think there were 15 episodes. Does anyone know where I could get them? I read where there was one full season and part of a second season. There were 13 episodes shown here in the States and I saw on one website that there were 2 more shown in England. If anyone knows where I might be able to locate these 15 episodes, I would be very grateful. The theme song for the TV series was the same as in the movie. It was very haunting and very beautiful.

blair-56 Well, further to the previous comment you should note at the top that it says TV Servies next to the title. This means that you are indeed incorrect about Whoopi Goldberg as she played the character in the TV Series, but not as you point out in the film version.I must be bored too - and now I have to fill in the prerequisite number of lines. I don't think this correction was worth the time or effort, but never mind.I have never seen the film, but remember enjoying the TV series when it was on some years ago, though i was quite young at the time and one should never revisit these things as they have a habit of disappointing you.
