Much more heartwarming and romantic than you might imagine from the premise. Well worth a watch. Susan Sarandon is incredible as ever, and James Spader never disappoints. Definitely a film I will watch again ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars Older Women Marrying Younger Men Can Work Well. *by H***N on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 10 June 2014* White Palace is a convincingly acted, well directed film that accurately portrays the the more often than realised occurrence of a younger man falling in love with an older woman. A famous case of this kind of thing happening was the marriage of the famous Eighteenth Century Doctor Samuel Johnson when he was 25 to Elisabeth Porter who, at 46, was 21 years older than he was. It was a love match and they were very happy together. Johnson, who affectionately called her 'Tetty', was very sad when she died and never had any interest in marrying anyone else.This film wins because it doesn't try to gloss over anything. The case of a younger man (James Spader) distressed had losing his wife is accurately portrayed as is the lead up to his meeting the older woman convincingly acted by Susan Sarandon. Not only is she at least 15 years older than him, she is also not up to the level of his social strata. Realising this, she tries to disappear, but he eventually finds her again and love triumphs.We may well ask: all very well, but will it last? Well, of course, we don't need to know that. What we do know is that this kind of match certainly does last for some couples. If it lasted for Samuel Johnson, it can last for others. Anyway, it's a lovely, well made, well acted film. I've had my copy of it for some time now and I've watched it several times. It's the kind of film that inspires us to always strive to overcome problems and do better with our lives. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A return to White Palace *by A***D on Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 11 February 2018* The leading stars of 'White Palace' both Susan Sarandon and James Spader bring a bit of magic to this tale of opposites attract. Susan Sarandon plays the straight talking (Wearing her heart on her sleeves) older, more mature woman Nora, who is soon to turn 44yrs in age, and works in a local 24 hour fast foods burger bar called White Palace. James Spader, in his more youthful days plays the handsome 27 yr. old Jewish character called Max, a high flying Accounts Executive, widower, having lost his younger wife in a car accident.They encounter each other for the first time after Max discovering that in his earlier order of 50 takeaway burgers that he was buying to take to a party, that there were 6 empty boxes for which he had paid for, and not happy with the feeling that he has been deliberately scammed, decides to return to the restaurant to seek a refund.Max explains the situation to Nora who tries to tell him to wait his turn in the queue and initially feels that he is a rich arrogant person but chooses to return some cash back to him from the till.Later that night Max driving back home from the party decides to stop at a bar for a drink. Nora is in the bar already drinking and recognises Max from the restaurant, and decides to go over to him and begins to flirt with him. Max isn't interested but by the time that they leave the bar, Max is slightly worse for wear and agrees to give a lift to Nora back to her place. Max, in no fit state to carry on driving, agrees to crash out for the night in Nora's place and is given the bed. Later on Nora decides to to seize her opportunity and to seduce Max who is asleep by giving him a blow job. Max gradually waking up realises what is going on but, is too far aroused by then and allows Nora to carry on. This then is the start of their rocky relationship.The chemistry between these two central people is brilliant and you're immediately drawn into their plight.Max feeling reluctant to introduce his older lover to his family and friends as Nora is from the social working class, not highly educated, and likely to speak out with what is ever on her mind, and fears that the others will make a judgement on his choice of new girlfriend. Nora picking up on this situation realises that he is feels embarrassed by her and perhaps they are not meant to be together.....Susan Sarandon is one of Hollywood's more gifted actresses and she always commands your attention in the films that she stars in, such as 'Light Sleeper' (1991), 'Thelma and Louise' (2002) and 'The Calling' (2014) to name but a few. Likewise, Jame Spader caught my attention back in 1988 with the horror film 'Jack's Back' followed by the film 'Sex Lies and Video Tape' (1989), 'Bad Influence' (1990), 'True Colours' (1991), 'Dream Lover' (1993) and 'Secretary' (2002).The only disappointment for me was on the dvd copy that I purchased, this was one of the worst I've come across in terms of transfer of the soundtrack. The film suffered from a lot of heavy noise pollution which made it difficult to hear the characters talking properly to the extent that in the end I needed to select the English subtitles to appear. But this is criticism of the actual dvd copy and not the film which I loved. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51179428-white-palace-dvd](https://www.desertcart.ae/products/51179428-white-palace-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart United Arab Emirates* *Store origin: AE* *Last updated: 2026-05-04*
