i do not know if i would still think this movie be worth 8 or not . i have try to find it for year and to view it a an adult and see if i would like it as much . i can not imagine how it be stick into anybodies lineup . the letter must have come pour in from all the far right fundamentalist . it seem to be a tv movie way ahead of the pack with it sensitive angle and from son perspective . nobody be a bad guy . i be follow scott jacoby career at the time and think he do a great job . while portray homosexual be a brave career move ( back then ) for both hal and martin and i think scott stole the show . i think this may have be the best thing he do a an actor .
