Trivia

Billy Zane ended up in this movie due to a mistake made by his agent. Zane had read the script for a different movie called "The Taxman", and his told his agent he would meet with the producers. His agent accidentally hooked him up with the producers of "Taxman", a totally different script. They didn't figure out the mistake until halfway through the meeting, but Zane agreed to do the movie anyway.

User Reviews

Magical and Charming!

This small budget independent film was delightfully charming to say the least. It makes you yearn for films of yester-year. The almost unknown cast ensemble was spectacular. The sets were magical and so was the presentation. The feature star actor Billy Zane (Titanic and The Phantom) who can be a bit theatrical at times was well subdued just as the story prescribed. If you like old-fashion romantic comedies you can watch with your family then this little film is a must have! 'IF' you can locate this little gem of a film I suggest you do!
