QuickView
Story-line: Max and Nora may be from opposite sides of the tracks but, sometimes, opposites attract.
Pluses: fine acting, good direction, a somewhat raunchy tone and some quirky moments.
Minuses: none really.
Comments: the basic story driving this movie is not the most original on earth but its refreshing treatment and humanity make for a compelling watch. I’ll always remember Nora’s face when Max gives her that special, heartwarming present…

White Palace is one of my all-time favorite romantic movies. James Spader and Susan Sarandon were perfect together as the young man-older woman couple. They had fantastic chemistry and it carried the movie from just being ordinary to being wonderful.
