John Ritter gives a strong performance as Paul Stallings, a gifted polo player who, following a great triumph, immediately has to deal with a tragic hand of fate – the fact he becomes paralyzed from the waist down. The only person seemingly suited to bringing out the best in him is a young woman named Marnie (Carrie Fisher). Fisher is also quite good in this movie. Marnie’s father doesn’t like the idea of Marnie liking a paralyzed man and another man (played by Robert Urich) has his eyes on her too. The story reaches a crescendo by film’s end and there is a lot to like about this dramatic story.
We are very happy to award this movie our Dove “Family-Approved” Seal for ages twelve plus. Watch this inspirational story soon.
