Very sad movie about learning to live when dealing with a fatal illness. Rated 4 out of 5 stars 01/13/23 Full Review Audience Member Overly dramatic but very nicely acted by most in the cast. Gloria Foster is exceptional. Bill Cosby does well, but seems uncomfortable in the heavy and grim role. Good story, typical television production. Well meaning.
