Rating: Summary: Extremely Useful In Real Life Review: When yuppie Max gave Nora a Dust-Buster, she became absolutely livid -- and said to him, in a quietly enraged, hissingly withering fashion, "How DARE you give me CLEANING EQUIPMENT." It wasn't a question, it was a verbal blowtorch.I saw this film at the theater long ago, when I was single and dating. Thereafter, when in the course of relationships I perceived that an association was no longer mutually beneficial, I always gave what appeared to be a considerate, innocent gift: Some sort of cleaning equipment. A Dust-Buster, a mini-vacuum, a fancy mop with its own wringer, and so forth. It worked every time, harmlessly causing the relationship to unravel, to simply fade out (and usually very quickly) without damage, sadness or regrets. Thank you Max, thank you Nora, and thank you Dust-Buster.
Rating: Summary: A Timeless Movie! Review: White Palace" is truly one of the most enjoyable movies I have ever seen. It is timeless because no matter how many times you see it, you want to keep coming back for more! I am also a native of St. Louis, Mo. and it was incredible to see so many familiar sites that were in the film etc. his apt.- the outside building is in Clayton and the actual apt. is Lee Redell's, a famous restauranteur who gratiously lent it for the movie or Rachael and Neal's house- I drive past it almost daily! James Spader has become my favorite actor. I think it is so neat that he never graduated from high school let alone college and look what he has accomplished! He has a presence and a chemistry that is electrifying. He and Susan Sarandon were fantastic as lovers. The movie is very believable even though it is unusual for a woman 15 years older and from a completely different background economically and educationally to have an affair with such a younger man. You want to believe that it can work out. All in all this is a movie that will never grow old.

Rating: Summary: oh susan what have you done Review: wow, i found this to be such a contrived film. It is best suited at best for a tv movie of the week. Susan Sarandon is one of my favorite actresses but her performance here is disappointing, and as for James spader... well maybe he should have disappeared into obscurity after Pretty in Pink, b/c well he just plain stinks in this film
