    My all time favorite made for TV movie

    My sisters and I have been searching for a copy of this made-for-TV movie for thirty years. It is such an intriguing masterpiece. Joan Hackett and Roy Thiness have great on screen chemistry and we found ourselves drawn into their illicit affair. We never could have imagined the actual outcome of the movie. In fact, my three sisters and I still have our different opinions as to who Roy Thinnes actually was(the doctor or the gangster). The musical score heightens the suspense and the beautiful ocean views certainly add to the romantic aspects of the movie. The site review for this movie is very misleading. I would have created a much better synopsis. I would pay anything for a copy of this movie. The musical score is just lovely and the scenery breathtaking. The ending is, of course, a real tear jerker.

    the movie is one of my favorites

    The music and the theme are one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and, I loved Roy Thinnes and Joan Hackett together. I felt like I was falling in love. I so wish I had access to a copy again. I would love to have it become part of my collection.

    This movie is one of my all-time favorites.

    This movie has a twist that caught me off-guard. It made me go over the scenes in my mind to see if there were any clues along the way. Loved the gorgeous Roy Thinnes and Joan Hackett's skillful acting. The beautiful, haunting music stays with me as well as the intriguing story.

    This movie is excellent and should be on video. It is intriguing and full of suspense.

    I remember seeing this movie 34 years ago and it was full of suspense and twists. It grabs you at the beginning and keeps you guessing throughout the whole movie. I have thought about this movie for the past several years and have checked in video stores to see if it's available, but was never able to find it or anyone who had even heard of it. I think this type of movie is timeless, and I know it would be enjoyed by a whole new generation of movie watchers. I hope this gets on video soon as it would be fun to see if it has the same impact on me as it did back in the early 70's.

    It's very rare that a TV movie can make that much of an impression, but this was did and still does after so many years.
