Ex-football star Mike Gambril meets Terry McKay on a flight to Sydney, which is forced to land on a small atoll. Both engaged to others, they become romantically attached on board the ship sent to take the passengers to a larger island. They agree to meet in New York City three months later to see if the attraction is real. One shows up, the other doesn't, but they run into each other afterwards. —Ron Kerrigan <mvg@whidbey.com>

This could have been a 5 star movie!
The beginning of this movie misleads the viewer to take the production as a light hearted semi-comedy.Gary SHANDLING,Harold RAMIS et.al that give this film a comedic appearance are miscast.This film is a study
of the life changing affect that true love can produce.The character
evolvement of BEATTY was not properly developed early.A different supporting cast{besides HEPBURN} & plot tone could have possibly produced a classic!The movie takes a 180 degree turn when BENNING meets HEPBURN & the Old style meets new breed.HEPBURN elevates this movie from an ordinary run to a second half that is breathtaking.She could have been an oscar winner had this been a completely serious movie from beginning to end.Hepburn's personality & delivery of her thought provoking lines were a masterpiece.To their credit Benning & Beatty were able to carry on the profound level of acting & purpose established by HEPBURN...This movie has a beautiful ending,conclusion.This should have,could have been a movie for the ages!
