Unfortunately, Joseph Stefano, who wrote the original script, did not put into the hands of the director a story that is up to Mr. Quinn.

A seriously bad tearjerker.

A totally misleading title may have made this a flop at the box office because it had a lot to recommend it as a movie.

Quinn cria um personagem carismático, mas o elenco feminino parece formado apenas por figuras paranóicas e controladoras.
