Quotes:
Rudi Miller: You see? She is conceited, rude, impossible churlish girl!
Franz Hollner: But adorable.
Rudi Miller: I see nothing adorable with bad manners.
Franz Hollner: This one has bad manners? The one last week has too many freckles? Sally's friend, that I introduced to you talks to much? You're impossible to please! Seems to me that you don't want to be please.
Rudi Miller: Perhaps you forget I'm betrothed to Hilda. I cannot.
Franz Hollner: What's that got to do with it? I have an arranged bride waiting for me at home too, but that doesn't mean I can't look at a pretty girl, does it? Look I'm in the United States. I work hard, send my money home. And when I have free time, I flirt a little. What harm can there be in that?

Touching Love Story, 19 February 2000
10/10
Author: Cailey from New York

I thought that this was a very cute, touching love story. Marie Osmond always has such a kindness and sweetness about her that I couldn't help but care for her character and feel for her when she was being forced into a arranged marriage all the while her heart was with another man. I thought that the movie was very well done and it is the type of movie you walk away moved by.
