At the end of this movie, I commented that the acting was excellent. I felt that I had watched a real family in action.
Margaret Colin was new to me, but I see she has numerous credits. That is understandable. She is exceptionally lovely, and her expressions come across as quite genuine.
The plot develops with all the intrigue of a mystery story, yet the melodrama is not overplayed.
This is one of those movies I just happened upon one evening on TV, and I am glad I did.
Certainly I will remain on the lookout for other Margaret Colin movies.
