Raunchy TV movie starring Donna Mills and James Brolin
When this film was broadcast on American television on September 28, 1986, Donna Mills, born in 1940, was at the peak of her television career. Her Abby Fairgate Cunningham Ewing from the PrimeTime soap KNOTS LANDING was, despite her bad lies and notorious schemes (she had just shaken off her responsibility for the kidnapping of Valene Ewing's (Joan Van ARK) twins in the series and rose like a phoenix from the ashes) incredibly popular with US audiences. So it naturally fit into the picture that she was allowed to play a good housewife who discovered her nymphomaniac tendencies almost overnight and then lived them out to the fullest. Of course, somewhat demurely so that the television viewers weren't too frightened! James Brolin, who was the star womanizer in the series HOTEL in those days, can be seen as her cuckolded husband. Cicely Tyson, Mitchell Anderson and Michael Greene also star. The uncrowned queen of horror classics, Veronica Cartwright (The Birds, Alien), is also on board.
Interesting memory of the eighties with TV stars of the time!
