One point of contention is that through a lot of the movie, you think that Lesley Ann Warren and Meredith Birney are sisters. Only later on do you discover that they've been life-long friends with quite a secret. Birney took Warren's child at birth and raised her as her own.
Warren goes on to become a Broadway luminary and television star before abruptly pulling the plug on her career due to her terminal condition from breast cancer.
She returns to the Birney residence with the idea that she will tell her daughter, who calls her her aunt, that she is really her mother.
Meredith gives a solid performance as the friend, who is afraid of life and taking chances. When Will Hutchinson comes along, she is hesitant to get involved with him since her own husband walked out on her with "their" child some years before.
Nice to see Timothy Bottoms back in films. Older now, he looks like a cross between Howard Duff and former President George W. Bush.
Warren still looks so pretty after all these years. I, of course, was taken back to her wonderful performances in "Cinderella," as well as "Victor, Victoria." How can I forget "Evergreen?"
This wonderful film does a great job in resolving dilemma among all the women involved.
