- Quotes
Patricia Peterson: We never will understand how it is for you.
Michael Lewis: No. I just can't feel the way you do. It's not just us any more, we're a family. We'll always be a family. You can't change that, and nobody on Earth can.
Patricia Peterson: Sorry. I... I need to understand this, in time. In the middle of the night I think of how it would have been never to know the truth. I put myself there and in that time before the truth I find peace and sleep. But the sleep ends, and I wake to who and what we are. Brother and sister. Strangers.
While showing off her wardrobe, Ms. Turner begins having dramatic moments. Soon, a family secret is revealed. Now, we know why Baxter and Hylands were looking glum in the opening. In the production style of a TV movie, "Bittersweet Love" brings up an interesting topic and takes it nowhere. Most obviously, Baxter and Hylands should have accepted an apparent lucky incident and take precautions to avoid future problems. That Baxter's character can't accept this is perfectly understandable, but not sufficiently explained; the problem is slighted and the outcome unsatisfactory.
**** Bittersweet Love (10/76) David Miller ~ Meredith Baxter, Scott Hylands, Lana Turner, Robert Lansing
