There are some people that can have a film made about their life and some just can't. The late NBC TV News woman Jessica Savitch is one of them. Her life might be very interesting to watch as a Bio on A&E's Biography but as a movie even a made for TV film it just isn't there. This film just rambled on without point showing Savitch and her rise and eventual fall and ultimate death. Having watched her when she did the news on NBC it was sad to see this film do her or her memory no justice.
