The beautiful ballad, "Through The Eyes Of Love" made even more so
by the powerful vocals of American songstress Melissa Manchester,
was the theme song from the 1978 romantic drama, "Ice Castles".
While critic Roger Ebert disliked the film for it's sentimentality, it proved
to be a surprising success, earning $18 million at the box office worldwide.
Like another movie, 1980's "Somewhere In Time" which was also panned
by the critics upon its release, the original "Ice Castles" has since become a
much loved cult classic, especially with the generation that grew up watching
the film when it first premiered on cable television in the late 1970's-early 1980's.
Released as a single in April, 1979 "Through The Eyes Of Love" was nominated for
Best Original Song at the 52nd Academy Awards and for a Golden Globe for
Best Original Song at the 37th Golden Globe Awards in 1980.
