Although parts of this tv movie were a tad uneven, I found the story extremely moving and a testament to friendship. The best thing about the show as the wonderful acting of Linda Lavin and Gena Rowlands. I have always loved the acting chops of Linda Lavin and especially her theater work . This was a quiet performance but she brought strength and compassion to the character and Gena Rowlands is always fantastic in her work, bringing her anger and disappointment full throttle. I was disappointed in Helen Slater who just overacted miserably in this film, especially at the restaurant scene with Rowlands. I missed this one when it aired originally.
