    Melissa Gilbert stars in this sentimental TV movie about a woman who ditches her architect boyfriend only to find she can't live without his young son. Tim Matheson gives another sturdy but uninspired performance as her ruthless adversary in this emotional tug-of-war, while Lisa Eilbacher provides welcome support. It was clearly just a short leap for director Michael Pressman from this tacky but moderately stylish tosh to the big screen to make Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: the Secret of the Ooze.

    Joshua's Heart

    This is a very touching and emotional movie with an excelt performance from Mellissa Gilbert. A young mother with an obvious love for her child, entrusting in that child to an education system to help him, and he is abused but none the less still wants to comunicate with the outside world. A brilliant performance from everyone.

    Straight TV Movie

    Interesting choice this, a standard 'based on a true story' TV movie. Worth watching to kill 90 mins but good performance all-roud.
