Trivia:
While the film's test screening tested really poorly, Joe Jackson's score was ultimately replaced by John Barry before it's new release date in 1984. However in a very strange occurrence, Joe Jackson's rejected score and the song's he wrote and were left in the final film, was released by A&M Records around 1983. This would mark a very rare occurrence in that film that was delayed without a release date would have a soundtrack released beforehand let alone a rejected score.

Scrappy, long on-the-shelf film by James Bridges concerns bank-teller Debra Winger's obsession over finding out what happened to a guy she was dating, who has mysteriously vanished. Bridges put this together with Winger after their partnership on "Urban Cowboy", but it was a career low-point for both. Many trips to the editing room couldn't salvage it (causing one to wonder, did it have its soul removed or was there never a soul to begin with?). If you can get through the muddled introductions, Paul Winfield manages a thoughtful performance as a gay music executive, and Winger does well with a very sketchy role. Joe Jackson performs the forgettable songs (his soundtrack LP was already out and gathering dust by the time this film finally arrived). *1/2 from ****
