I wonder if RC hurt hurt Rachel's mouth, It's like he was trying to chew her mouth off kissing her so rough. When he stops to look at her, I wonder if the character wonder if he is hurting his lover. Obviously she having a good time. Priest knows how to rock the bed!!
While making love to Meggie, Ralph was thinking, damn I am really going to pay for breaking my vow of chasity! But damn it I'm on a beautiful island,with the woman I love and I'm finally getting laid!!!!! Yippeee!!!!
Did the priest bribe the driver to state that Ralph was Luke? I think Meggie was thinking of making her marriage work, even though Luke was a jerk half the time. She and Ralph did commit a lot of sins, she was married and he was a priest. His feelings for her too strong to resist.
just like it says in the movie box: Love, Unattainable. Forbidden, Forever. but still the passion displayed in this scene is breath-taking. like Ralph says when he has to leave her again his punishment for this would be that forever he would never know if he loved God more than her... so sad :'(
@maureenmo1 You're very romantic,lol!You 're just like Maggy,dreaming of a man,you have dreamt of a married man,lol!!Did he kiss you like in the miniseries,lol?I would have liked to be rachel ward for one day just for a hug and kiss in the arms of Richard chamberlain.Yes he definitely was gorgeous!
Don't know how many times I've watched this scene, countless, but it never fails to sink my heart, The passion, the want and need for each other, the result - a perfect son. Colleen McCullough wrote a classic (please read the book too)
unexampled movie really..mummy advised me to watch it and i was shocked.love can be so undying,forever and i looked enviously.it is THE BEST from all love stories.man wants fall in love watching this movie
Forget about the actors and contemplate the STORY. Meggie tried to shield her heart from the unbearable pain she knew was coming, but to no avail. There is no shelter for any heart which loves so much. She was doomed from the start.
"Help me get FREE of this!" I'm already swooning. Yes, I know he's gay, but what a fantastic acting job. Now that I myself am in my mid-50s, I can REALLY empathize with the character Mary (brilliantly played by the STILL-beautiful Barbara Stanwyck back then) in her passion for the DDG Richard Chamberlin!
Rachel Ward was so beautiful. I was in high school when this movie debuted on tv. I don't know a girl that didn't want to look like her that year. My girlfriends and I all tried to do our hair like her's. :)
Bonita canción. I am afraid that Father Ralph didn t follow either his God or his love, he just followed his ambition, that is the truth. En el libro puede apreciarse claramente.
This movie was wonderful and moving. I don't care if Richard Chamberlain was or is gay. He gave a magnificent performance and that is what made this movie a big hit. I've watched it time and again and I still am in awe of the great acting of all the cast, especially Barbara Stanwyck. I believe she died shortly after this movie. The beach scene was my favorite!!
WOW! Gay, huh? Ya could've fooled me. Just give me one night with this gorgeous man!! Love him, love the book, love the movie. Happy Birthday father Ralph deBricassart!
They're always gay. Christopher Plummer, Wentworth Miller too. What will us women do? I don't wanna know the gay part. Let me keep the dream alive here people. No offense to gay people reading this post.
Is he intending to sleep with her when he comes to the beach? This is the first time in the film that he's wearing civilian clothing without it being work clothes
I never read the book, but those who have state he planned to sleep on her couch. He brought a suitcase. What does he mean by forgive me? I think he was planning to have sex.
@cherrypop1771 In the book, when he shows up she thinks its because he has finally decided to be with her. He quickly realizes that by coming there he gave her the wrong impression because, like you said, his real reason for coming had been to just see her. He is saying "forgive me" for giving her the wrong idea. But then as she gets angry and starts to run away he loses himself and they end up in bed anyway.
Thanks for clearing that up. But why did he lie to the guy and say he was her husband , or at least correct him? Did he think meggie would reject him if the guy stated your friend Father Ralph is here.
WONDERFUL LOVE SCENES-GREAT MOVIE !!! WHY NOT PRIEST HAVE WIFE ?? WHAT IS ABOUT TRUTH LOVE? TÌNH YÊU-LOVE Tình yêu êm ái nhẹ nhẹ nhàng, Am thầm như lá thu vàng rụng rơi. Như mây như gió trên trời, Lang thang phiêu bạt di dời khắp nơi. Tình yêu tồn tại muôn đời, Là nguồn hạnh phúc loài người bốn phương. Tình yêu Địa Ngục-Thiên Đường, Đề tài nhân loại văn chương viết hoài...
This is my favorite movie and fave part..I saw this movie when I was 14 and fell in LOVE with Richard Chamberlain!! This movie rocks aways and will always be a classic. I finally got the movie about a year ago, and still watch it over and over!
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
I love this music. It gives me goosepimples. Father Ralph bugs the hell out of me though. He should have married her. I used to think he was absoluely goergeous till i found out he was gay. Gutting!
@issyvoo2 omg ikr ..when i found out, i couldnt believe it but that doesnt change the fact that he's freaking gorgeous and probably the most beautiful male actor ive ever seen..hahah lolololol
Ok i will say it another way. You are right being gay does not make him any less handsome. It does however make him less appealing to me. Just my personal thing.
I know what you mean. As a young girl I loved him in The Slipper and the Rose, to me he was my handsome prince. Years later I was watching The Thorn Birds with my mother and this scene came on and she mentioned Richard's sexual preferences. All my fantasies went down the drain. I was 13.
The best scene in the film in many ways, but I always think to the prayer for the cincture, "Praecinge me Domine, cingulo puritatis, et extingue in lumbis meis humorem limbidinis, ut maneat in me virtus continentiae et casitatis"
When my dad brought this movie home i thought that it was going too be this 8 hour long suck-fest but it turned out to be one of the best mini-series/movie of all time. its so addicting!=) like a soap opera. when one part ended you wanted to watch the next. its in my top five. its a better love story than Romeo and Juliet. everytime i see this scene it makes me wish i had a love like that=p
The same for me too! I only reluctantly started to watch it and now I'm like, a huge fan.. too bad the guy who plays Ralph is gay in real life.. what a bummer
When I lived in Boston (famous for its hunkalicious guys, and where I lived when I saw this for the first time) we had a saying: "All the good guys are either married or gay." ;)
OMG - this is THE BEST part of the whole movie !! You feel the longing, the pain of them wanting each other forever and thinking they'll never have each other. Then they finally do on the island, knowing that what they had on that island will never happen again. GOD - did I cry through this scene !!!
@cherDJ hell to the yeah i was literally jumping outta my seat when i saw this, thinking finally! their moment of passion has finallly come and i was mesmerized by this scene just as much as you were..boy am i a sucker for a passionate love story.....i freaking love this movie miniseries thing and i cant wait to read the book by colleen mccollough..you shouuld too
I've utterly LOVED this since I was a little girl - thank you. In fact, it kind of helped me with relationships. Why? Well, I watched this with a former beau and when he wasn't enraptured by it, I knew he wasn't "the one", lol!
Yup, Richard Chamberlain is as bent as a nine bob note, sweetheart. Sorry.
Like John Barrowman (mmmm...), it matters not. Did you think you were likely to meet him and live happily ever after? Keep your dreams... they're fun. :)
Richard Chamberlain was indeed gorgeous, and clearly passionate and sensuous, too. He must have been around 50 when he made this, and still looking damn fine.
Yes, he's gay but, just like with John Barrowman: so what?
Maybe gay men make good actors because they are more in touch with emotions and can read (and copy?) facial expressions better. Experiments prove that (most) straight men simply cannot read even half as many different emotions on the face as women can. (so don't blame them, they really can't help it!)
Then again, we have straight men who can be pretty damn camp and also very sensitive, e.g. Anthony Head to name but half a dozen.
Stephen Fry and others have pointed out that people are always asking straight men actors "Gosh, what was it like kissing a man?" but they never ask purely gay ones "However did you bring yourself to kiss a woman?"
I'm a straight woman. I did years of teenage youth theatre then trained at Drama School and I've kissed lots of guys on stage who didn't interest me or turn me on at all. Kissing a woman was no different than kissing a bloke I completely did not and could not fancy.
I should have been a little more specific. Could somebody please post the scene where Meggie and baby Justine go to confront Luke one last time before she returns home to Drogetta? Thanks again for this beautiful scene. :)
i have this video on betamax, VHS , VCD and now DVD. it's really a must have!! i love richard! it doesn't matter if he's gay, he's got this amazing aura on screen that you can't help but admire him ! :)
WHEW!! That Richard Chamberlain is a dish! ; ) I love the Matlock Island scene, so beautiful. Love it when "Ralph" strides through the sand towards "Meggie". *sigh*
Drogheda is filmed in the Simi Valley in California.
The beach scences were filmed on Kee Beach Kauai. The sugar cane scenes and the house that Ann and Luddie live in also is on Kauai as is the town where Meggie has her honeymoon. I've been to all the locations! They are tagged on a map when you go there.
THE BEACH SCENE IS KEE BEACH ON KAUAI. I'VE BEEN THERE TWICE. I LOOKED FOR THAT HOUSE THAT RACHEL STAYED IN ABOVE THE BEACH. It's not there. I wonder if they built it only for the Thorn Birds and then had to take it down immediately.
CHECK OUT at 6:04 minutes. Rachel has a BIG strand of her in her mouth as Richard kisses her. You can see it better on TV. I'm surprised they didn't redo that part since that hair is BIG!
And where, exactly, do you get the idea that he's being raped?? Who is the agressor in this... !
Typical male religious opinion: everything is always women's fault.
When a catholic priest gets a woman pregnant, he is moved to another parish and gets to start afresh, while she is left holding the baby and having evil minded, twisted men like you judge and condemn her.
Believe me Ralph is not being raped! That is a trip where she pulls him on the sand though. RC stated rolling around in the sand is ucomfortable, but it looks good on film.
Let me guess ... you're Catholic! I think it's a beautiful depiction of love between a man and a woman. Here's something to ponder: my husband and I are LEGALLY MARRIED, but since he and I were both divorced when we met, we had to BOTH get annulments, then now have to go to a course on marriage in order to be "LEGALLY MARRIED IN THE EYES OF GOD" in the Catholic Church.
Oh, fer cryin' out loud. I hope you're joking! Isn't Christ supposed to be the only one who has the right to judge anybody? ;) I've never once cheated on my husband. I love and respect his Catholic faith but find it strange that they cannot accept our previous marriage in MY church as binding.
Hammersley1967 what is your problem all of a sudden. Can you not understand something about this scene? You know what, say all you want to about this beautiful scene. Subsequently, I am not married but, whether you like it or not this movie is still a TV miniseries. So, there!
Ok, people will probably hate me for this, but it seems to me in this scene that he looks a bit of a sloppy kisser. In the other kissign scenes I think it is much better! Here he looks in a bit of a rush!
Hey guys, the Beach Scene took place in Malibu, CA., which would also be used to re-create Africa for Roots which were done by the same Production Co. It was the harrowing scene where Kunta Kinte gets captured, and his father Omoro realizes he's "gone" forever.
I didn't know that. My gosh before you know it, ROOTS will be 40 and the Thorn Birds will be 30. I'm getting old. Levar seems like a nice guy too. I use to like Reading Rainbow. Just caught the DH clip where Richard starred as Lynette's gay stepdad. I scene was cute.
Actually, in real life she didn't marry Richard Chamberlain. Richard Chamberlain is gay. Rachel married Bryan Brown, who plays her husband Luke O'Neill in the mini-series. They met while filming it. I absolutely LOVE this show and as far as I'm concerned it's the best mini-series ever made!! :o)
I had a complete and total addiction to this show when I was a teenager. I think I watched it a million times and had it memorized!!!! I can still quote it 20 years later. I even did a school report comparing the original novel to the tv miniseries.
Querida amiga Rachel Welch, gran reencuentro el de Ralph de Bricassart y Meggie Cleary, un beso apasionado que quita el sentido y pierdes el norte, en la cama se funden en una pasión desenfrenada. Tu siempre serás mi Meggie, de tu Ralph enamorado.
Hands-down, the most ROMANTIC scene ever! SIGH! I haven't experience passion like this since, well, too long. And considering Chamberlain was (is) gay, and hadn't come out yet, this must have taken some REAL acting on his part! What a waste of such a gorgeous man. Ditto Anderson Cooper!
In an interview, he did mention he enjoyed kissing Rachel. There was a big age difference, 23 years I think. If he was hetero, and she did not fall for Bryan, maybe they could have dated if he was into older men. I read she was uncomfortable doing love scenes. She was a newbie back then, i'm sure RC helped her to relax during filming. He seems like a nice guy.
Father Ralph de Bricassart doesn´t love just her body or something like that.He loves her just on the way she is and he like to speak with her and laughing with her.That´s why I like this film so much I watching it all day!!!!!!!
The little beach house it was filmed at was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
When I saw mini series I became obsessed with the beach it was filmed at. The first time I was there I kept thinking "I'm at Meggie and Ralph's beach" and I felt in a sense like a voyeur. It's stupid because it's a very public beach.
Thank you for posting Thornbirds stuff, it's wonderful. I adore the book and series. I remember once when I was about 15 I was ill at home and my mum took the day off to spend with me and we cuddled up on the bed and watched Thornbirds from start to finish in that one day. I will always remember that. And this is one of my favourite parts...
LOL, I've loved this movie ever since I was 8. I remember the beach scene was my mom's favorite part of the movie, and she would play it over and over XD. Then she'd yell at me to leave the room when they started kissing XD.
Now that I'm over 17, I am able to appreciate the hotness of this scene XD
Is Meggie crying in despair over her failing marriage or the fact she will never have a future with Ralph due to his vocation?

beside who said gay cant "reacted" towards women kekeke

Maybe gay men make good actors because they are more in touch with emotions and can read (and copy?) facial expressions better. Experiments prove that (most) straight men simply cannot read even half as many different emotions on the face as women can. (so don't blame them, they really can't help it!)
Then again, we have straight men who can be pretty damn camp and also very sensitive, e.g. Anthony Head to name but half a dozen.

There are plenty of sensitive straight men out there. ;)

Stephen Fry and others have pointed out that people are always asking straight men actors "Gosh, what was it like kissing a man?" but they never ask purely gay ones "However did you bring yourself to kiss a woman?"
I'm a straight woman. I did years of teenage youth theatre then trained at Drama School and I've kissed lots of guys on stage who didn't interest me or turn me on at all. Kissing a woman was no different than kissing a bloke I completely did not and could not fancy.

Drogheda is filmed in the Simi Valley in California.
The beach scences were filmed on Kee Beach Kauai. The sugar cane scenes and the house that Ann and Luddie live in also is on Kauai as is the town where Meggie has her honeymoon. I've been to all the locations! They are tagged on a map when you go there.

THE BEACH SCENE IS KEE BEACH ON KAUAI. I'VE BEEN THERE TWICE. I LOOKED FOR THAT HOUSE THAT RACHEL STAYED IN ABOVE THE BEACH. It's not there. I wonder if they built it only for the Thorn Birds and then had to take it down immediately.
CHECK OUT at 6:04 minutes. Rachel has a BIG strand of her in her mouth as Richard kisses her. You can see it better on TV. I'm surprised they didn't redo that part since that hair is BIG!

Hammersley1967 3 years ago
And where, exactly, do you get the idea that he's being raped?? Who is the agressor in this... !
Typical male religious opinion: everything is always women's fault.
When a catholic priest gets a woman pregnant, he is moved to another parish and gets to start afresh, while she is left holding the baby and having evil minded, twisted men like you judge and condemn her.

Believe me Ralph is not being raped! That is a trip where she pulls him on the sand though. RC stated rolling around in the sand is ucomfortable, but it looks good on film.

Let me guess ... you're Catholic! I think it's a beautiful depiction of love between a man and a woman. Here's something to ponder: my husband and I are LEGALLY MARRIED, but since he and I were both divorced when we met, we had to BOTH get annulments, then now have to go to a course on marriage in order to be "LEGALLY MARRIED IN THE EYES OF GOD" in the Catholic Church.

Oh, fer cryin' out loud. I hope you're joking! Isn't Christ supposed to be the only one who has the right to judge anybody? ;) I've never once cheated on my husband. I love and respect his Catholic faith but find it strange that they cannot accept our previous marriage in MY church as binding.

Hey guys, the Beach Scene took place in Malibu, CA., which would also be used to re-create Africa for Roots which were done by the same Production Co. It was the harrowing scene where Kunta Kinte gets captured, and his father Omoro realizes he's "gone" forever.

Actually, in real life she didn't marry Richard Chamberlain. Richard Chamberlain is gay. Rachel married Bryan Brown, who plays her husband Luke O'Neill in the mini-series. They met while filming it. I absolutely LOVE this show and as far as I'm concerned it's the best mini-series ever made!! :o)

Hands-down, the most ROMANTIC scene ever! SIGH! I haven't experience passion like this since, well, too long. And considering Chamberlain was (is) gay, and hadn't come out yet, this must have taken some REAL acting on his part! What a waste of such a gorgeous man. Ditto Anderson Cooper!

@sondano
In an interview, he did mention he enjoyed kissing Rachel. There was a big age difference, 23 years I think. If he was hetero, and she did not fall for Bryan, maybe they could have dated if he was into older men. I read she was uncomfortable doing love scenes. She was a newbie back then, i'm sure RC helped her to relax during filming. He seems like a nice guy.

The little beach house it was filmed at was destroyed by Hurricane Iniki in 1992.
When I saw mini series I became obsessed with the beach it was filmed at. The first time I was there I kept thinking "I'm at Meggie and Ralph's beach" and I felt in a sense like a voyeur. It's stupid because it's a very public beach.
poipubeachseal 4 years ago
Thank you for posting Thornbirds stuff, it's wonderful. I adore the book and series. I remember once when I was about 15 I was ill at home and my mum took the day off to spend with me and we cuddled up on the bed and watched Thornbirds from start to finish in that one day. I will always remember that. And this is one of my favourite parts...
