Everything from the very long, pointless bed scene which opens the film, to Michael being possessed with a woman's warning voice coming out of his mouth, to Maggie's hairstyle were just.bad. I hoped to find something interesting in checking out this film, finding the London setting and the idea of Smith as a ballerina appealing, but I found it both desultory and silly. The film turns into a mystery/horror movie as he receives dire warnings from the Great Beyond not to delve into Brooke's past the warnings include the killing of Maggie's cat, a big no-no for me as a viewer! Greg considers writing a screenplay about Brooke, and as he delves into her past he comes to believe he and Maggie are the reincarnations of Brooke and Michael.
She plays Smith's mother in both films, which is apt casting as there is a vague physical similarity.ĭEJA VU concerns a writer named Greg (Nigel Terry) who becomes fascinated with a long-deceased ballerina, Brooke Ashley (Smith), after seeing her in an old film.Ĭoincidentally, Greg's fiancee Maggie (also Smith) is the spitting image of Brooke - save for her bad blonde '80s shag haircut - while Greg looks a great deal like Brooke's choreographer love, Michael (also Terry). Needless to say, she's a beauty, and I found her a particularly winning presence in period TV-biopics such as JACQUELINE BOUVIER KENNEDY (1981), GEORGE WASHINGTON (1984), and FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE (1985).Ĭlaire Bloom, who costarred in FLORENCE NIGHTINGALE, also appears in DEJA VU, which was released the same year. Smith, the erstwhile Charlie's Angel, may be an actress of limited range, but I've always had a soft spot for her. Jaclyn Smith stars in the fantasy-mystery DEJA VU (1985), recently released on DVD and Blu-ray by Olive Films.
