Quotes
Margo: Well, I got to the house, and I had this funny feeling. I went inside and straight to the bedroom, I was sure he was with somebody. Nobody! I looked all through the house, I was so relieved! Then I looked out at the pool. Billy, the love of my life, was on the cement with this sleazy blonde.
Rae Colton: Oh Margo.
Margo: I ran... I just took off. I was running down Doheny... I thought my heart would stop. I thought the world had come to an end, I didn't know who to call! And then I ended up calling Ramon. He told me to come right over. His house is better than Billy's, and he's got art!
Rae Colton: [impressed] He moved your stuff?
Margo: Well, I went back to the house. The blonde was gone. I went up to Billy, I gave him a big hug, and I said I still love you, but I'm moving out. You know, I really thought that one would last.

Above average TV movie

This was a surprisingly enjoyable TV movie with a good performance from the lead, Victoria Principal.

After her married lover of nine years dies, she is left with nothing, having no one to take care of her and no work prospects in her chosen field of acting.

During the next five months she struggles to find work, or another true love, meeting various new men and old flames along the way.

All this leads up to the bleaker-than-usual ending for a fictional TV movie. Enjoyable
