    A movie to ponder for life

    One movie that really put an edge in my heart is this movie..

    It has a lot of merits specially to the main actors who portrayed their roles and of course Ms Dyan at her best yet... transcending from a young to elderly character is really convincing for the viewers...

    The drama in the movie is touching ..

    Watch it till the end and you will find it memorable ...

    id give a 5 star for this excellent crafted TV movie..

    I was hoping to find a copy from anywhere in the internet to you-tube but unfortunately my old VHS will have to do for now...

    if anyone who knows where a secure a copy (DVD for sale) please let me know...

    Wonderful portrayal.

    I saw this movie for the first time and absolutely loved it. What was so incredible to me about it was the fact that it was based on a real story.

    I felt that Dyan Cannon did a beautiful job portraying Sally Stanford as a true life person complete with intelligence, fortitude and humor.

    Though I had never heard of Sally Standford, before this movies it prompted me to check into her life's story even further. It took great courage and determination for her to make so many changes in her life.

    Kudos all around for this movie and it's cast!
