after read the mostly glowing comment about this movie i decide to rent it despite some suspicion of tv movie . i should have follow my instinct . i try so hard to warm up to the movie and find merit in it but i just couldn not . the story never draw you in or ring true and the acting be perfunctory at best and laughable at bad . everything in this production be amateurish . always a joy to watch and mary mcdonnell may be the only performer to escape this disaster without damage her career or reputation . i would not even bother check the name of the lead man hopefully he back do commercial . even poor vanessa redgrave and whom i adore and respect and seem to be channel katherine hepburn all the time appear a if she be really drug in the home . maybe she need the money . if i can save one person from waste 100 minute on this tripe i will feel vindicate .
