The Other Side of Midnight is a 1977 American drama film directed by Charles Jarrott and starring Marie-France Pisier, John Beck, and Susan Sarandon. Herman Raucher and Daniel Taradash wrote the screenplay based on Sidney Sheldon's 1973 novel of the same name.
Today, the film is best known as being part of a package deal 20th Century Fox's American distributors arranged to ensure a film the company had little confidence in, Star Wars, would be exhibited in its initial 1977 release. As it turned out, Star Wars was a smash success that would completely overshadow The Other Side of Midnight.
