Wise Old TV

Maybe not versatile in that transcendent sense, but after viewing this film, albeit its "dated" qualities, you'll appreciate a complex and gritty tendency in John Ritter's exploration of character. (Maybe he's always been that way.) The movie's also a sign of its time, unbridled, minus splashes of liberal detachment. This is earnest stuff; Susan Dey is wonderful; the ending reminds me of ones in flicks like Gallipoli, Mr. Goodbar, Bicycle Thief, Salaam Bombay, Tchao Pantin; but it's TV and somehow that adds to the tragedy, in that metafilmic way.
