    Why not?
    That's a weird kind of Tv movie, beginning like a family drama destined to housewives, showing a business woman speaking of getting married. Then five or ten minutes later, we see this woman facing her lost husband, supposed to having been killed in Nam, getting home and being under fire in an undergroung parking lot...THat doesn't make it a bad or lousy piece of work, but the mix up between the two paces in the storyline surprised me quite a bit. It remains after all a suspense romance thriller flick. Nor best or worse than another one TV film from this late eighties, early nineties period. Predictable moments galore. Good ending though.
