Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
This TV movie premiered on NBC's Saturday Night at the Movies in January 1991, competing against CBS's revived 'Perry Mason' — and losing badly in ratings.
The 'sexy psychotherapist' trope peaked in early-90s erotic thrillers; this film's attempt to make patient-therapist romance sympathetic now reads as deeply uncomfortable rather than titillating.
