Yes it's a plain and simple love story that was never going to be an Oscar contender. But not as awful as some think. John and Edith don't fall in love overnight as suggested elsewhere - She's up in BC for 3 weeks before the relationship is fully realised. Secondly the scene on the boat could hardly be called "getting naked" in a sense of ridicule. They merely remove wet clothes to save freezing and covered immediately in blankets the most you ever see of Edith is a bit of bare arm ! I enjoyed the film. Tim Matheson gave as solid a performance as you see regularly on West Wing and he would warrant parts in more aignificant movies than this. Jaclyn Smith looked about 35 instead of the 53 she was when the film was made and was attractive and ultimately heart-warming in the part.In summary a nice film to watch on a wet afternoon.

The direction of the film is one of the weakest elements in this movie. Luckily, veteran TV superstars Tim Matheson and Jaclyn Smith are on hand to deliver one of the best romantic performances you'll ever see in the small screen. It's a pity the director didn't give the two more screen time to explore the relationship between the them. It's half bake.But this is the kind of movie, you rarely see in Hollywood now a days. The two lead stars are so wonderful to watch and probably one of the best chemistry I've seen on TV. These two should make more movies together!

Sure it's predictable...the sunrise is predictable but don't you just love to bathe in its warmth. This is a terrific performance with exquisite acting reserve. Both lead characters are real to perfection played by Tim Matheson and Ms. Smith.The co stars do a marvelous job as well. Just sit back and enjoy it. If you've been divorced or lost a love one and tried to start again you can see reality protrayed with honesty so real you can feel it deep down. A quality film.

The first half hour was so predictable, cliche riddled, and stereotype performed, I couldn't force myself to watch any more. Sure Smith, Mathewson, and the scenery are pleasant to look at, but you couldn't like their characters enough or find anything interesting about them to want to watch them change.
