| | My Favorite | Racy 01/11/2007 | | I loved this movie and still have fond memories of watching it. I bought the original but prefer to watch Loni Anderson. I wished they sold DVD's of this movie. Since it was shown on TV I haven't seen it rerun for years but I look for it every week in the TV guide. Great love story. |
