Trivia
Was being broadcast on ITV, in the early hours of 31st August 1997. At approximately 01.30, during a commercial break, ITN News interrupted programming with the initial report of the car crash that ultimately killed Princess Diana and Dodi Al Fayed. Little information was known at the time and thus the film then resumed for the remainder of it's duration. See more »Goofs
At the beginning of the second sequence in the doll factory, when Mrs. Spon approaches Willa to tell her it's lunchtime. See more »Frequently Asked Questions

This is further proof that good (no, GREAT) movies shouldn't be remade. Richard Chamberlain, good actor that he is, is not suited for this role. Robert Mitchum's Harry was cunning enough to hide this evil streak from Shelley Winter's Lylah until it was too late. Chamberlain's Harry is so high strung, it's a wonder that Dianne Wiest's Lylah isn't packing the kids up and running within five minutes of meeting him. Maybe this film, the made-for-TV versions of WHATEVER HAPPENED TO BABY JANE and IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE (remade as IT HAPPENED ONE CHRISTMAS) should stand as testament that you just CAN'T improve upon greatness no matter how hard you try.
