Mrs Winterbourne | Actors/Actresses: - Ricki Lake Great romantic flick! Connie, broke and pregnant, accidently ends up on a train heading toward Boston without a ticket. When a stranger, Hugh Winterbourne, helps her out by pretending that his wife's ticket is Connie's, and then takes her to join him and his wife in their cabin, the chaos begins. After the train crashes and Hugh and his wife die, Connie is mistaken for Hugh's pregnant wife. Since the Winterbourne's had not yet met Hugh's wife, Connie finds herself pretending to be Hugh's widow so she can care for her child, but feels guilt ridden over her deception-- especially when she falls in love with Hugh's brother, Bill, and the rest of the Winterbourne family. And who's sending her notes asking who she "really" is? On its own, this movie is a great romantic comedy-- showing how one instance can drag a person into a situation he or she never intended. Lake, Fraser, McClaine, and the actor who plays "Paco" do a fabulous job at making the viewer fall in love with all the characters. I have watched this movie many times, and intend to watch it many more. This story is based on "I Married a Deadman" by Cornell Woolrich, which is a much darker story than the movie. I'm glad they changed the title when they made this into a movie because there are many differences between the original story and the movie; therefore, no one who read the book will mistakenly watch the movie and expect a faithful adaptation. While both are good, they should be taken indenpendantly of each other. romatic Very much a feel good movie, with a wonderful leading man that carries off two totally different characters. Ricki Lake certainly surprised me in this movie, she can actually act! Shirley Maclaine is wonderful as one of my favourite all time actresses and still has not changed!! All in all, a very good movie to watch when you need a light hearted comedy with a normal lead girl, the handsome lead man, the rich wonderfully good hearted wealthy woman and the drunk gay butler. Very funny. Beware--New DVD is pan Please be aware that Columbia recently "revised" this DVD.
