DubyaHan The movie is wildly uneven but lively and timely - in its own surreal way
Lela The tone of this movie is interesting -- the stakes are both dramatic and high, but it's balanced with a lot of fun, tongue and cheek dialogue.
Fleur Actress is magnificent and exudes a hypnotic screen presence in this affecting drama.
Billy Ollie Through painfully honest and emotional moments, the movie becomes irresistibly relatable
gingerdogg I couldn't care less about the plot or whether it was good or bad. Being a train enthusiast, I remember there were extensive scenes filmed on board Union Pacific passenger equipment and at the East Los Angeles station, all of which would be impossible to do today. For those reasons alone, I'd like to see this show again. I only saw it once when it was originally aired. jwkenne, what are the specifics of how you saw it?
jwkenne Rather poor work, with the "audience votes" (done by running a studio audience's punched cards through an IBM 087 sorter after everything had been filmed) obviously meaningless -- the plot would take a minor detour one way or the other and then return to the main stream within minutes.And the big revelation at the end about Jill St. John's character was obviously handled on a special-effects budget of about a buck-fifty.A few years later, computer games like "Adventure", "Zork", and "Trinity" were able to show that this sort of plotting actually could be interesting -- but not this.Watch it as an interesting technical exercise in failure -- if it hasn't been burned.
