Why Me?

This movie hasn't been shown since its release. It should! It is a great story of courage, triumph, hope, friendship, tragedy and love. Lifetime should definitely add this to its list of must see movies! You can't go wrong watching this story! Glynnis and Armand are great in this! I was very moved when it originally aired in the early 80's. It made an impact on my life that I will never forget. I always wonder how the characters are doing now. This movie showed that the nurse triumphed over what life dealt her in the tragic accident. If you can find this movie on tape/CD please get it. I will be waiting for its re-airing! I hope someone that can make that happen reads this!

My sister and I saw this movie years ago and LOVED it! We enjoy a before-and-after story, and this movie depicts this theme beautifully. It covers the horror of a car crash, the heartbreak of being divorced for shallow reasons, the medical community at its best, and a love story with a happy ending.

I want to own this movie.

I have not seen this movie again since it aired on television in the 80's. It was such a touching, amazing movie I just can't believe it hasn't been back on. If anyone finds when it's showing again, please e-mail me, I would love to record it! (If you love Armand Assante, you'll love this movie!)

This particular Film had such an impact on my life. I did see it on TV when it was released and was fortunate to see a rerun of it a few years later. I agree with all the other positive reviews of this film. However, rather than waste your time repeating the same rave reviews I just wanted to let everyone know you can find this film on You Tube and view it for free. ENJOY!

This is a wonderful film for both those who have and have not experienced such trauma. I saw this film in the 80's. I had a car accident in 1997. My face popped through the windshield, leaving me temporarily blind and with deformed facial features that required a half dozen surgeries over 3 years. Today, you'd never know it ever happened to me, my surgeon was amazing, but when Leola unwrapped her bandages for the first time and saw her face it sent chills down my spine. I cried when I saw my face too... I believed my whole life was over. The portrayal of her emotional state immediately after the accident, her absolute need to get "back to normal" and back to work just 5 weeks after the accident, and especially the patience required to let the skin heal through the initial trauma and all of the follow-up surgeries was absolutely accurate. There is something for all of us to learn from Leola's story and I am glad they put her story on the screen. MFTV, yes, but one of the best of these types of films, and certainly one of the most inspirational and accurate survival stories I have ever seen.
