User Reviews

A Soap-Opera With the Saga of Callie Bordeaux

Callie (Lindsay Wagner) is a single mother who is forced to deliver her son for adoption. A few years later, she meets the millionaire and owner of an important newspaper, Randy (Jameson Parker), gets married with him and retrieves her son. The story is long and follows Callie and her son until he is a married man. This movie looks like a Mexican soap-opera, combining love, hate, betrayal, blackmail, birth, death, corruption etc. Unfortunately the end of the video I watched is damaged and it was not possible to watch the end of Callie's saga. Michelle Pfeiffer in the beginning of her career, a little fat and having a very rounded face, has an important participation as the vulgar wife of Callie's son. My vote is six.
