This steamy '80's drama features two beautiful individuals in
Jeff Bridges and Rachel Ward. If you are looking for a romantic
drama where the chemistry between the film's lovers works, this
is it. What also works are the plot points at work to keep them
apart. It is suspenseful, intense and, wow, what an ending!
