I watched this because I will watch Stockard Channing do anything. And she is the reason I finished it, aided by Sam Waterston. It looks like--and is on about the same literary level--as most any sub-par TV movie, though the editing is particularly inept. Finally it sunk in...between all the odd accents from supporting players and the way none of the locations looked (much less felt) right, this must have been made in Canada--which, of course, it was.

Stayed in memory from a long time ago as great but did not live up to the memory on the re-watching. Nevertheless as gay rights drifted in to death penalty this had a courageous moral ending.
