User Reviews

I agree with the first comment 100%

Those ABC Movie's were very well done and this movie stands out as one of their best. It had a good cast with a plot not done so much back then and way before "Fatal Attraction" or the other fatal movies that followed were made. I agree with the last reviewer and love the fact that this movie didn't rely on too much violence, language or sex to make its point.

I wish I knew who did the music for this movie, that theme was really catchy and jazzy, sort of like the sound of Burt Bacharach (who did the ABC Movie of the Week theme, better known and named "Nikki").

I'd love to see some of these ABC movies released on video, they're well worth having in your collection!
