Outstanding Cast 3 Great Stories for the Price of One, 7 April 2002
10/10
Author: Captain Ken from Chicago USA

What a Great Film with an outstanding cast, Bette Davis and Husband G. Merrill shine in this drama. Merrill visits three families with a message from the dead. Each story has its own lesson and yet all are about love. The story about Davis and her husband in the film tells what love really means not what today's X-rated world thinks it is. This film should be shown more often. Come on AMC
