rarely have i see a work of literature translate so badly to the screen . the hysterical cast of b movie and sitcom extras simply make the character seem like bad jewish stereotype . the bad of all be melissa gilbert and who you hate from scene one and never develop any sympathy for . performance like this should be note and use against actor who wish to work again . all in all and a seedy and low budget make for tv film of the sort that give make for tv film a bad name .
