hyped garbage

Absolutely Brilliant!

At first rather annoying in its heavy emphasis on reenactments, this movie ultimately proves fascinating, simply because the complicated, highly dramatic tale it tells still almost defies belief.

The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.

I happened upon this movie by accident and I loved every minute of it. From what I remember it was great. Both Joanna Kerns and Stephanie Zimbalist played their roles fabulously. IMO, the best tv movie I've ever seen. I recommend this movie to any fan of either Joanna Kerns or Stephanie Zimbalist. You won't regret watching this one. A fabulous tv movie.

This is truly one of the most beautiful films that I have ever seen in my entire life! The performance of Joanna Kerns and Stephanie Zimbalist can only be described as SUPERLATIVE!!!!Stephanie leaves her small kids as she cannot cope with the pressure of motherhood as a young woman. The incident so poignant is: her 4-year old daughter accidently spills some orange juice on the floor, and that is the last straw which leads to Stephanie leaving her kids. When she comes back after 10 years, the first thing her daughter says to her: Mom, I'm sorry about the orange juice. It brings REAL TEARS TO YOUR EYES as Stephanie starts to cry. I was so moved by the film, that I have spent 4 years trying to trace it for my personal collection, until I found it today.
