A Promise to Keep

This was the first work I ever watched with Dana Delaney, although I remember hearing her name through the years. The story was pretty good, but Ms. Delaney made this a strong movie via her performance and I would recommend it to everyone. It caused me to become a Dana Delaney fan.

This movie was based on Kurt Vonnegut and his first wife, Jane. It was inspired by the memoir of Jane - "Angels Without Wings: A Courageous Family's Triumph Over Tragedy". Four orphaned nephews befall a working couple who can barely take care of their own three children.

Dana Delany and William Russ are both very good here. The kids are OK. Some of the scenes are also nicely photographed and the beach is very nice. Unfortunately, the movie drags towards the end.
