4.0 out of 5 stars Why it is not being reissued, May 6, 2005

By	B. Rosen (Maryland) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Like the rest of the reviewers of this movie, I found it to be a wonderful love story that just leaves the viewer feeling good. I was fortunate enough to find a VHS copy on eBay a few years ago at a good price, so it is part of my library. Just after buying it I heard somewhere (wish I could remember where) that Shelly Hack was so unhappy with her performance that she had bought the rights to the film, and that is why it is not making it to DVD. Don't know if that is true, but if it is, I sure wish she would read these reviews, maybe they would change her mind.

5.0 out of 5 stars A touching, "make-you-feel-good" movie with fabulous music!, April 17, 2000

By A Customer

My wife and I first saw this movie as a second feature in a theater (back when they still did such things). It's a wonderfully romantic film. I've often wondered if it isn't at least in part Joe Brooks' own life story. Sure, the acting at times may seem a bit stiff, but Joe Brooks comes off as an ordinary guy - not the undoubtedly wealthy character he plays - and let's face it, Shelley Hack is drop-dead gorgeous! This movie also has some of the GREATEST music. I particularly love "Come Share My Life" and "California." I taped it off TV several years ago, but the copy is aging, and I would love for the studio to remaster it and release it on DVD.

3.0 out of 5 stars Music writer and artist try to rekindle college romance., December 13, 1998

By	[e-mail] (Southeast Missouri, USA) - See all my reviews

Advertising jingle writer Bob Morrison (producer, director, screenwriter and star Joe Brooks) after being widowered or divorced (it's not made clear,) comes into contact with his short-lived college romance, Jennifer Corley (Shelley Hack) The trials and tribulations of reviving the romance with a mercurial Jennifer make for a dizzying coast-to-coast love story. Bob, who has a young son and daughter, lives in New York, and is summoned to Los Angeles to meet the producers of a movie for which he is invited to write the musical score. While in L.A., he meets up with Jennifer, who dumped him in college after a single night of passion. She told him in college that she couldn't make a committment. They meet up and he finally gets and encore in the passion department but, once again, after a whirlwind romance, she tells him that she can't commit, that she isn't a long-term type of person. The story of how this all ends gives somewhat of a look into the business of scoring movies, and the difficulties entailed in a bi-coastal romance. The acting is not that good. Hack has at times asked interviewers not to mention the movie. It is, however a sweet story of how a looker like Hack is attracted to Brooks, who is hardly a matinee idol type. The music score is good if not great. Jimmy Breslin demonstrates why he makes his living writing rather than acting, in his role as Mario, a gofer for Brooks ad agency. All in all, for me it was an enjoyable movie, if not a candidate for any awards.
