I saw this movie!!!!!!

I saw this movie and thought it was excellent. Although I am a black women who wanted to rip this white women's head off for throwing her black lover to the wolves, I kinda understood that she was face with a terrible decision to make, The man she loved, or her child. but I also felt that she should have thought about that before hand. I became caught up in their love affair and was even rooting for them. But when she turned on him in court, It ripped my heart out. To be honest, I must say she never thought the outcome would be what it was. And as always, she was what we might call "A day late and a dollar short" In trying to save him. I thought this movie was excellent from beginning to end and have been looking it on video or DVD for over 5 years. Where In The Hell Is It???!!!!!!!
