Audience Member Thinly written, but not too bad. Rated 3 out of 5 stars 02/07/23 Full Review Audience Member This had to have been one of the worst movies I think I have ever seen. 2 hours of my life I will never get back. See what can happen to you when you are home sick and delirious from medication. Melissa Gilbert should have stayed on the prairie. This women CAN NOT act, period! Patty Duke can act but she must have had a loan payment due to have taken on this role. I had to rate this movie 10% because that is the lowest number the meter will accept. Rated 0.5 out of 5 stars 01/31/23 Full Review Audience Member melissa gilbert and patty duke played in alot of movies together. very good actresses Rated 5 out of 5 stars 02/14/23 Full Review Audience Member Great acting performance from Patty Duke who played Melissa Gilbert's biological Mother.
