I agree with reviewer 'holdencopywriter'. I had to look up the movie on IMDB to double check this actually was Christopher Plummer! He's a consistently good actor and fairly attractive in my opinion but he's the best I've ever seen him in this little caper. The main difference is he seems so relaxed. I always think of him as a bit stiff albeit charming and even pretentious sometimes. Here he's genuinely affable, natural and very, very sexy.

Now ... about the TV movie. It's typical of the cozy shows of the period.. "Murder She Wrote", "Columbo" etc., with a touch of "Dynasty" flair. Even Linda Purl looks nice and is acting well. She's never been a favorite of mine and I disliked her in "Lou Grant". She guest starred in so many series, "The Rockford Files", "Quincy" etc., but I could never understand why. Here I found her pretty and acting well.

The script is based on a Danielle Steele novel but the dialogue could be better. I found it enjoyable for it's genre. This TV movie includes all the "regulars" and the production and acting style predates it's "Hallmark" version. I much prefer it.

The drama genre is a broad category that features stories portraying human experiences, emotions, conflicts, and relationships in a realistic and emotionally impactful way. Dramas delve into the complexities of human life, often exploring themes of love, loss, morality, societal issues, personal growth, with the aim to evoke an emotional response from the audience by presenting relatable and thought-provoking stories.

The romance genre features the theme of romantic relationships and emotional connections between characters. These stories focus on the development of love, desire, and intimacy between protagonists, often exploring the challenges, conflicts, and triumphs that arise in their relationships.

A successful producer creates a new TV series, but the actors he casts all harbor hidden personal issues.
