If his fans didn't love Peter enough already, they will love him even more by the time they watch this one. Grandma liked the film but she always was jealous of the female characters in love stories and at least there wasn't any "tongue kissing" like in the soap operas. When Peter went on Dinah! and talked about orgasms in 1979, mother was quite impressed. Good thing grandma wasn't watching! Anyway, the movie is very well made and we all watched it together. I will never forget how wonderful Peter was filling in for David Hartman on GMA in March of 1978.
