Culver City, Calif. – (July 28, 2008) – Sony Pictures Home Entertainment releases the widely embraced Hallmark Channel Original film THE NOTE on DVD October 7, 2008 for the SRP of $24.96.   Starring Emmy® Award-winner Genie Francis (“General Hospital’s” timeless leading lady Laura Spencer) and Ted McGinley (“Hope & Faith,” “Married with Children”), THE NOTE explores the idea of what would one do if suddenly faced with a few moments to live.  Who would you reach out to, and what would you say?  Based on the best-selling novel by author Angela Hunt, this film was the #1 rated Hallmark movie of 2007 and the third highest rated original movie in Hallmark Channel history.  Special features include interviews with Emmy® winner Genie Francis and best-selling author Angela Hunt.

Synopsis The Note
Genie Francis stars as Peyton MacGruder, a struggling human interest columnist whose column is waning in just that…human interest.    As she struggles to keep her job and please a disgruntled editor an incident happens which puts her work woes into perspective.   After finding out about a horrific plane crash near her office that kills all aboard, Peyton unexpectedly happens upon a scrap of paper containing a hastily written but heartfelt message from one of the passengers to his child.  Inspired by the power of the words, Peyton pledges to discover the note’s intended recipient and deliver it by Christmas.   With the support of her co-worker and possible love interest King Danville (Ted McGinley), Peyton takes her readers along for the journey while trying to stay one step ahead of a sensational TV reporter, Truman Harris (Rick Roberts - Man of the Year).  Peyton sets out across the country encountering a number of varied and colorful personalities, and in her quest, unexpectedly confronts her own personal demons.

“’The Note’ is about finding love – not just romantic love but a love for life, and a love of oneself…Francis and McGinley pull it off effortlessly.”
– Matthew Gilbert, The Boston Globe

“…forgiveness and second chances are the key themes, pass the hankies.”
