Effective story beautiful Lynda
phd_travel16 November 2019
One thing this movie shows is that Lynda Carter is a good dramatic actress. It's a difficult role. The story is effective and simple. No twists. After an accident where the other party is blamed a woman realises she is actually responsible. The soundtrack has a 50s melodrama feel.

Worth a watch.

Not Bad, with a wonderful score by the great Les Baxter

I was pleasantly surprised by the quality of the movie, it's quite engrossing and Lynda Carter gives a surprisingly good performance as the alcoholic driver. Much better than the usual Lifetime made for cable movie, and very nicely directed.

This features the last film score by movie music icon Les Baxter, and he gives the film a lot of support, very emotional, yet restrained. It's too bad most TV films can't have music as good as this.

Overall, a worthy effort, well directed, acted and scored.

Great film!

Warning: Spoilers
Superb in every way. I don't believe I have ever seen a film like this. Linda plays a young mother who has lost some of her memory due to a car accident which seems to be an open and shut case. Looks like the incident was caused by a drunk driver who was killed along with one child. Another child in critical condition. Linda also spends time in hospital. She feels extremely guilty. Her heart goes out to the mother of the boy that died and spends much time by bedside of the recovering little girl. As a result, the two women become friends. Linda has been particularly interested to know how the wreck happened since she has no memory of it. Slowly flashes of that night comes in view and she realizes she is responsible.
