After falling ill during a business trip to London, a woman (Bernadette Peters) must confront her own mortality when she's diagnosed with a terminal illness. Through her doctor (Brian Bedford), she's introduced to a psychologist (Mary Tyler Moore) who'll help her face the emotional fall out of her illness. Directed by John Erman (AN EARLY FROST). What seems like another TV "terminal illness" movie of the week surprises by its strong non sentimental screenplay until its last half hour when it becomes exactly what you feared it would be ..... a sentimental tear jerking TV "terminal illness" movie of the week! A real pity since Bernadette Peters and Mary Tyler Moore, two exceptionally talented ladies, give some nuance and shading to their characters. With Dorothy McGuire (who has one good scene as Moore's mother), Kate Reid, Carmen Mathews, Michael Hogan and Erika Alexander.
