Ryan Gosling, Rachel McAdams, James Garner and Gena Rowlands star in the network television premiere of THE NOTEBOOK, to be broadcast Saturday, Dec. 15 (9:00-11:30 PM, ET/PT) on the CBS Television Network.

THE NOTEBOOK is an epic love story centered around an older man (Garner) who reads aloud to an older, invalid woman (Rowlands) whom he regularly visits. From a faded notebook, the old man's words bring to life the story about a couple who is separated by World War II, and is then passionately reunited, seven years later, after they have taken different paths. Though her memory has faded, his words give her the chance to relive her turbulent youth and the unforgettable love they shared.

As teenagers, Allie (McAdams) and Noah (Gosling) begin a whirlwind courtship that soon blossoms into tender intimacy. The young couple is separated by Allie's upper-class parents who insist that Noah isn't right for her. Several years pass, and, when they meet again, their passion is rekindled forcing Allie to choose between her soul mate and class order.

THE NOTEBOOK, based on the novel by Nicholas Sparks, was directed by Nick Cassavetes for New Line Cinema.
