A Simple Twist Of Fate [HD]

Simple Twist of Fate- Possibly Steve Martin's Best Movie Yet
Steve Martin is primarily known for comedy, but in this heartwarming and heart-wrenching film he shows great ability
in a serious role. Martin stars as a man who is recently divorced after his wife had an affair and got pregnant. 5 years later as a carpenter, he has all of his gold coins stolen by a local politician's drug/alcohol crazed brother. But the local politican (Gabriel Byrne) has skeletons in his closet too..as he is hiding the illegitimate birth of a girl child to a heroin addicted woman. The woman dies outside Martin's home in the midst of a snowstorm, and the little girl wanders inside Martin's home and scares the heck out of him..in his own words "She came to replace my money" Maureen O'Hara costars.
A fantastic film which got very little credit. My daughter loved it! You will too!

This is an adorable film all should see.
I rented this movie and liked it so much that I bought my own copy. Steve Martin did a good job of taking this movie and making it modern from George Elliot's book Silas Marner. All the characters played their role well and it has great music and scenery. Everyone should at least see this movie once in their life if not more!

Modern version of George Eliot's story 'Silas Marner'
I really enjoyed viewing this movie when I rented it a few years ago. 'A Simple Twist of Fate' is based on Mary Ann Evans' (1819-80; Pen-name George Eliot) story 'Silas Marner'(if anyone is interested in reading Silas Marner on-line, go to this web address, inside the brackets: [...]

Steve Martin is a sad & lonely bachelor school teacher who's life feels empty and irrelevant; Then a sweet little baby girl walks into his life. The short of it is that she has recently become an orphan; So Steve Martin adopts her. Raising this precious little girl brings much love, joy, and happiness into their lives. It is a story about the transformative and healing power of love.

I was dismayed to find that this movie is not currently available to purchase
