Just a different opinion. My wife and I watched this tv movie Sunday, and
I found it a trial to stick it out to the end. It was a movie with very
little substance to it and contrived as hell; what a waste of great acting
talent.
As for the music, I found it lacking in quality and interest. Tom might
have found the "Billy Boy" theme very clever, but I thought it was the low
point in music I thought couldn't get any lower.
For what it's worth, my wife enjoyed the movie and the music. She eats up
those syrupy family oriented films. I want "Homicide" back -great drama
and music.
