    Uneven, but not horrible

    The story is pure romance novel stuff, of course: woman recently jilted runs away to be alone in a remote place (in this case, on a small island) to lick her wounds. There is a terrible storm, howling wind, rain, etc., and the following morning she finds a wounded man washed up on the shore in front of her rented house. With help, she gets him into her house and nurses him back to health, and when he awakens, he doesn't remember anything about himself. The only clue to his identity is the message engraved on his watch: "To Matt, with love". Love blossoms, of course.

    The writing is uneven and the story leaps over some potentially dramatic scenes in favour of the romantic ones, which left me a little unsatisfied. Their relationship seemed to race along without any real foundation except physical attraction - there was never a common interest or taste identified, so the relationship didn't seem as solidly believable as some in the SoL series. Some of the dialogue is awfully stilted and corny. The acting is uneven in places and is certainly not among Dack Rambo's best work, but I think much of that is due to the unevenness of the script. He is handsome, and Susan Almgren is pretty, with far too much blonde hair. The wardrobe lady needs to be smacked for putting Dack in a blue shirt with black somethings on, that looked like a pajama shirt.

    The sex scene is short and mostly glossed-over, disappointingly.

    I love Dack but I couldn't finish watching this movie

    This will have to be a partial review since I couldn't finish watching the movie. I suffered (terribly) through the first half hour or so before giving up. I purchased this movie solely to see Dack Rambo; although, I had my reservations since I really loathe romance stories. Jilted woman meets handsome man who she finds washed up on shore and nurses him back to health. The handsome man has no memory of who he is except for a watch proclaiming his name to be Matt. Matt, has terrible taste in clothing, selecting a purple coloured shirt with black marks all over it. He and the woman eat ice cream as they walk through town and speculate on who he might be while horrible "love music" plays quite loudly in the background. At this point, I couldn't take anymore and stopped the movie. Note: this has more to do with story line and movie type as opposed to the acting. I still love Dack and own a lot of his other stuff, but I just couldn't get through this one. Sorry.
