Although I had heard that this true story was made into a movie I did not see it. Several friends and I would like to see it and would be happy to purchase copies of the episodes that were televised or the complete movie.The story sounds heart warming and tragic. It is a shame that they did not stay together after all the troubles they had been through. I know of a similar story that occurred in the 1960s. Happily the couple are still together - 40+ years later.IF ANYONE CAN ASSIST. PLEASE DO REPLY TO THIS MESSAGE.Thank you..

*Don't read if you haven't seen the movie. It tells the general overview of what occurred.*I absolutely loved this movie. Their romance was a true "Romeo and Juliet" tale that Shakespeare himself would've probably applauded. The hardships, the trials, and the faith they had in each other was amazing. The fact that they overcame each issue placed against them shows that love does, indeed, conquer many things. Here's a young woman, willing to give up her family and her old life to begin writing a new one with the man she fell in love with. And here's a man who's willing to risk anything and everything to keep her with him, even if it meant defying the Marines. The only sad thing to this fairy tale romance, however, is the fact that not all fairy tales last an eternity.

Good movie no doubt. Great story. I've seen the real couple on talk show Oprah about a year ago.However i read the paper yesterday, 1 Dec 2004, and the couple (marine & princess) have filed for divorce. The court has declared the marriage is no longer competent: divorce. Blame it on the Vegas night life, in-laws, or whatever. It remains a pity, especially since the tale was to be an inspiration for lovers, not a tragedy. Many of us will be disappointed. Maybe a visit to the TajMahal in India at night, a love-monument, would have done them good. But now it's too late. They both went through so much trouble and danger, and so many extra miles, and now this? That's a twist, albeit not a surprise, seeing marriage statistics in general these days...

This is a good love story with a happy ending and it's a true story, Marisol Nichols shines as Princess Meriam. If you like romance this one is an unmissable treat. Bahrainies it appears are not happy with this story, as it shows how closed and restricted even the most liberal gulf state is.
