I thought Polly Drapers (Adrian Towers) performance was average, but i found the hushed breathy way she spoke at times very irritating. I found Kevin Kilners performance as Adrians husband at best wooden and hammy. John Ritter gave a very natural performance as Bill, and i confess that it was only his role that caused me to watch it.Bill as is often the case in made for TV romantic films is almost too nice,a likable, lovable guy.
This film is really exactly what it sets out to be; a romantic, inoffensive, made for TV movie.Something you would curl up on an afternoon to watch.It is the sort of film, if you take it for what it is, then it's an enjoyable movie.

Not a bad teleflick, but the Danielle Steel book is a lot better. John Ritter is fine, but Polly Draper is badly miscast (and her character Adrian is badly written in this script, she's a lot better in the book). Her voice squeaks so much, it drove me up the wall. It's an OK teleflick, but the TV movie adaptions of Steel's Once In A Lifetime and Jewels, for example, are a lot better. I'd just as rather reread the book Heartbeat again, but I digress.
