This was an interesting story blandly told. The cast is full of veteran tv actors and it does feel like a tv movie which it is.

Above average 'made for tv" movie thanks in no small part to the good cast led by the more than capable Elizabeth Montgomery. It does leave you with more questions than answers though, so if you want a tidied up button down film look elsewhere!

I remember this created a bit of a stir when it first aired, and looking back, I'm a bit surprised my parents let me watch it. By TV movie standards, quite good, and Elizabeth Montgomery is excellent.
