This is a wonderful film. It is so well acted by all, especially the two main characters. I get it from my local video shop time and time again and the video is wearing out. I would love to have my own copy, but it's only available in Northern America. Please, put it on DVD. It is a film that will never date because of the topic. Let it be enjoyed by all.
Viewer Reviews This movie is absolutely haunting. I had seen it when it originally aired but recently got it on vhs and ended up watching it 2 nights in a row. The subtlety with which Bernadette Peters plays the role of the dying woman makes the characters impending death all the more heartrending. Her vulnerability coupled with her dignity really make you care deeply about what is happening to her. Mary Tyler-Moore also brings a necessary piece into this film with her sensitivity and compassion into her role as the caring therapist which coupled with Bernadette Peters portrayal complete the picture. They play off of each other brilliantly. Be forewarned that this movie is very sad but if you don't mind a lump in your throat and tears uncontrollably streaming down your face then this is the movie for you.
