Having Sidney J. Furie as the director of the this film is probably the biggest surprise of this film. Furie, more famous in directing action blockbuster movies, managed the direction swellingly.

Although the story becomes tiring in the last quarter of the film, Jaclyn Smith manages to sustain the dramatic resonance of the film. Smith is a capable performer and when handle by good directors and good scripts, exudes excellence. This is probably her best performance of late.

The only thing is she really looks too beautiful for everyone. I think, she's not being appreciated with her acting talent that much because the camera loves her face so much, that you can't help adoring her "angelic sexy" look while watching the movie.

Although, I must say that I enjoyed the first HOLLYWOOD WIVES, this new tv movie, based on Jackie Collins' novel, is definitely, the WORST tv movie I've ever seen in my whole life!

And what happened to Farrah Fawcett? Her face is too tight, she can't even smile. Her expressions are the same in all her emotions! It is very sad to see her like this. I wonder what actor Jack Scalia felt during those kissing scenes......she looks like a puppet. Watching her are so stressing cause, you don't know if she will be able to open her mouth and her cheeks are all swollen, like she's got some golf balls inside her mouth!

If she's thinking that starring in this type of movie will resurrect her acting carreer..well, i'm afraid, this movie ruined her flagging career as an actress. Her love scenes in the movie gave me goosebumps, actually. I thought for a second that I am watching a Stephen King movie! It's scarey!!!!

Ditto, with her co-stars. How did Robin Givens ended up getting a role in this movie? Please explain....and Melissa Gilbert..oh god...she's one tv's worst actresses and she's still is after all these years. Why these actresses ended up starring in this movie was a big insult to those fans of these genre(imagine that?!!!).

Avoid this stinker.......

This movie is one of my faves. Although, there was a mixed reviews when the movie was shown years ago, I believe that this is one of Smith best tv movies to date. Bugger me, if I'm wrong, but I think, this a wonderfully acted and well executed drama/thriller.

Although, the ending, I must say, is like your typical soap opera, as a whole, this one is nail biter.

Jaclyn Smith, inspite of other's negative re-action, is indeed delivers one of her best performances. The rape scene was done in good taste without over-reacting and the interogation scene in the police department is an excellent piece for Smith.

It's a pity because Smith is so beautiful on screen and that's why some people cannot take the fact that she's a credible actress, too.
