The real-life Charles Bronson threatened to sue the production, saying he didn't want "his personal family problems turned into someone's melodramatic entertainment". The producers countered that his late wife Jill had given her blessing to allow the film to be made shortly before her death and threatened to counter sue. Bronson eventually backed off his threat, but still vehemently voiced his disproval of the film.

Disappointing story of an incredible woman

I was very disappointed in this movie for the same reasons the two reviewers above gave. Jill Clayburgh was just terribly miscast as Jill Ireland. It distracted me throughout the movie. While Ms. Ireland's real-life struggle to save her adopted son from drug addiction was admirable, eventually I started hoping for her son to hurry up and O.D. and get it over with it already, instead of having to watch the plot wander through the same territory again and again. It was difficult to work up much sympathy for him. I know that frequent relapses are symptomatic of drug use, but the movie had an obligation to entertain as well as inform. Unfortunately, it didn't do either very well.
