Um Toque de Amor

I remember watching this movie as well on HBO a million times. I was stunned by Diane Lane's performance. I had never heard of her so I actually thought she was a handicapped actress. This is one of those rare movies that goes straight to the heart. I'm a guy and I loved it even as a teenager. I guess having four sisters made a little sensitive to movies like this one. This is the story of a young woman who had the power to touch the lives of every person that got to know her. Even though she was in a wheelchair, nothing could contain her soaring spirit. The relationship between Diane Lane and Deborah Raffin is very touching. Raffin's character is there to help Lane, but it seems that Karen had more of an impact on the life of her caretaker. If you are a fan of Elvis Presley, this is the movie for you even though it's not an Elvis movie. You'll just have to see it to know what I'm talking about. Great story, great performances, and lots of emotion make "Touched By Love" a must see again and again. And I thought I was the only person whose seen this movie. I'm glad to know there is at least one other.
