Summary: I CANT BELIEVE I LOVED THIS MOVIE
Comment: This movie to my surprise is very very good. I rarly can watch a mini-series without dozing off, but this one had me glued to my tv for about 4 hours, or more. This is a great movie, if your lucky enough to find this movie, even if its on VHS, GET IT.

Summary: Love It -- Can't wait for it to come on DVD
Comment: I bought this video years ago, and I've watched it dozens of times. It is really great,and one of the best adaptations of a Sidney Sheldon novel. Now, I would LOVE to own it on DVD. I would love to see some the extras that they have with it, like maybe deleted scenes or commentary. Unfortunately, they haven't done it. There is a "If Tomorrow Comes" DVD with different actors and storyline. Do yourselves a favor and DON'T CONFUSE THESE TWO. This video version is terriffic, and we need to get this one on DVD, but don't buy the other one. If anyone knows when this version will be converted to DVD, please let me know by responding to this comment. Thanks.

Summary: PUT IT ON DVD!
Comment: All of these miniseries from ITC to Scruples to Crossings to Master of the Game were fantastic. Why the studios have not put it on dvd must be solely a question of the age group who is in charge of the decisions. They were engrossing, entertaining and fine acting. Please put these out! Miniseries are NOT the same as they used to be!

Summary: Before the mini-series losts its fun and charming side
Comment: The tv mini-series, in all its true glory, died in the 80s. Jane Seymour and Jacqueline Smith were the queens of the shamelessly fun ones such as "Crossings" and "Rage of Angels," but the oh-so-underrated Madolyn Smith brought adorable innocence to the table when she debuted in "If Tomorrow Comes."
I used to drive my sister crazy during 1986 as I'd watch "ITC" over and over on the VHS cassette I'd used to tape the 3-night miniseries. One day in the late 90s I was shopping and I spotted the movie on professional VHS. Forgetting where I was, I squealed out loud in excitement and an elderly woman nearby looked at me with alarm before she scurried off faster than I'd ever seen anyone move. I probably should have restrained myself, but I had lost my copy years before and all the good memories I'd had of it came flooding back right there in the store.
If only "If Tomorrow Comes" were on DVD...It seems clunky now to go through all three tapes, but it's still worth it, watching the story of the way-too-trusting Tracy Whitney as she faces betrayal and injustice before she battles her way back with a charm and vengeance that can only come from deep suffering and a need for closure.
There are so many reasons to like "ITC," but if I had to list five of them...
--Revenge has never been so sweetly calculated or free of violence. (I enjoy David Mamet's brand of the dirty double cross, but sometimes it's nice to see the softer side of retribution.)
--It's always neat to see talented actors in their earlier days (i.e. CCH Pounder, Tom Berenger, Liam Neeson.)
--Madolyn Smith is so endearing here AND she shows so much promise as an actress. You have to wonder why she didn't go on to do bigger and better things. ("Funny Farm," while cute and harmless enough, just doesn't hold up to what she does in "If Tomorrow Comes.")
--Tom Berenger!! (Those of you who appreciate Mr. Berenger's sex appeal and understated acting will understand! To this day, I still don't get why he isn't more well-known and valued.)
--No other tv movie that followed ever recaptured the true guilty pleasure spirit of the "big" mini-series (except for the very serious and unforgettable "War and Remembrance," which falls under "big" rather than "guilty pleasure" since it had a very important message and hardly could be considered light fare.)
Give "tomorrow" a chance! I would suggest you hold out and wait for a DVD release (which might offer a clearer picture resolution) but it doesn't look like that's on the horizon...
