Advantages: Great acting, great film and plot
Disadvantages: None really!

...First Wives Club. Background The First Wives Club is based on the novel by OLIVIA GOLDSMITH and was an instant number one best selling book.

Advantages: Excellent Movie Sountrack.
Disadvantages: None!

The music video to accompany this love song was taken from clips of the St Elmo's Fire movie also. This is an excellent track, that?s an all time favourite to me. Overall Opinion Of St Elmo's Fire Soundtrack. Well as you have probably gathered from reading this review, I really love this soundtrack a lot. I have had this original one for over twenty years. I first had it on cassette and then upgraded it to CD. It really looks a bit tatty on it, but that?s because it has been played a lot by me over the years, as I love it so much. This CD was one of the first movie soundtracks that really caught my attention because of the great meanings all the songs... Read review
