| User ReviewPhillip NWayne Rogers (Trapper Mcintyre from M.A.S.H.) gives a polished, restrained performance as a Houston family man, working for his father in law's construction company, whose present is suddenly rearranged by his past. When serving as an interpreter in the Vietnam war ten years earlier, Craig Weston had an affair. Now back home with his wife and daughters, he is contacted by his former lover, who tells him he has a son, Quan, who he never knew. Rogers shows Craig's discomfiture at discovering this, and that his lover is dying, and wants him to adopt Quan, in a very palpable manner. His wife Janet, (Bonnie Bedelia - Homecoming) is caught between her love for her husband and her love for her caring yet controlling and prejudiced father, who holds the purse strings and refuses to have an asian child in the family. On the whole, very well executed. |
