Genre: Drama
Director: Anthony Page
Cast: Richard Thomas, Dennis Quaid, Rosanna Arquette, Candy Clark, Roberts Blossom, Fran Ryan, Billy Drago, Richard Lineback, Mickey Jones, Penelope Windust
This TV remake of the award-winning 1948 film is certainly worth a look. Rosanna Arquette is excellent as the deaf mute with a baby which resulted from a rape. She now tries to retain custody as her father attempts to take the baby from her. 1 User Review
