Warning: Spoilers
One Special Night tells the tale of two lonely people one who's wife suffers from Dementia,while the other her husband passed away a few years back meet up at a nursing home as Robert(James Garner)was visiting his wife,while Catherine(Julie Andrews) a doctor was just popping into the nursing home to see the patients. Of course with a snow storm lurking upon them the two end up getting stuck in the snow storm and find an abandoned cabin where they stay there till the storm goes down as Catherine offered a lift for Robert to take him home. With the two stuck in a cabin even though their persona's differ will romance blossom between them and will they ever get together?

Overall this was a really nice sweet love story between two old people who fall in love as they are both lonely with their companies not with them anymore. Julie Andrews is well in my opinion one of my favourite English actresses of all time. I have seen her in a lot of films ranging from Mary Poppins to The Sound Of Music. James Garner was also very good too as the lonely contractor Robert who strikes up with Catherine(Julie Andrews).

Yes the story reminds me of The Notebook with a hint of Sleepless in Seattle with the whole faith thing as in the beginning of the film we meet Catherine and she doesn't see Robert twice,until she met him at the nursing home.

If you want to watch it be sure you catch it on TV whenever its on.

My rating is 8/10

Very Good
