This is a well used plot but the movie was engrossing throughout. The end of the movie was strangely disturbing to me, maybe inevitably, because no matter what the Beau Bridges character decides at the end he was going to be hurting an entire family. I actually found myself hoping he would choose differently than he did at the end. It wouldn't have been the politically right decision but I was more sympathetic toward the other female character.

This movie was pretty good. I'll go as far as to say it's a hidden gem to some degree. I won't say that it's a great movie, but it is well worth watching and I will say I was feeling sorry for all of them. Try it you might just enjoy it to. James Welch Henderson, Arkansas 4/11/2021.

This is a good movie. Stars Beau Bridges. The movie is not like these cheesy, cheap TV films that are on, now a days. This was a TV film from the mid 1990's. Back when TV films still had good plots, good writing & big name actors that acted in them. In my opinion, good TV films disappeared at the end of the 1990's. I give this movie 7 out of 10 stars & recommend watching. Makes for a good Sunday afternoon movie, curled up with your favorite blanket.

Good lesson in not being unobservant concerning your surroundings. Such an attitude led to this man losing his memory, identity, and family. He became a dirty, homeless street person who wound up in a trash box just for a scrap of food. When he received sympathy from a kind woman, not only his fortunes changed but her's also leading to a strange outcome.

Each year when all the big TV networks are planning there Fall schedule,I always look forward to another season of fact based movies."A Stranger To Love" is one that gets my full approval rating. It is a well done film about a married man who gets beat up & then loses his memory. He relocates to another city, where he starts up a new life. Beau Bridges,Pam Dawber & Tess Harper all give outstanding performances. This is a movie worth checking out.

This story is based on true-life events, but how many times have we seen this plot? Somebody loses their memory, in this case, a loving husband who's a restaurant owner. He wanders around lost until someone, in case, a lonely woman, helps in out and falls for him in the process. Many cliques, including the scenes where the guy is surprised to know that he has some skill, but can't remember how he came to know how to do it. The only difference is that has a somewhat downbeat ending than usual for this type of story.
