When sophisticated New York journalist Edith Iglauer is assigned to go to British Columbia to write a frivolous piece on the fishing industry, she butts heads with local fisherman and notorious loner, John Daly. While she thrives on the fast-paced life of Manhattan, he loathes pretension and could go days without speaking to anyone. But when the two are caught in a perilous situation, they are forced to put aside their pettiness and re-examine their lives. With external factors stripped away, they begin to fall in love. Ultimately, Edith must decide between staying in the glamorous world she has always cherished or leaving it all behind for a chance at love.

Reviews

bbs917 This is one of the best movies I have seen in a long time...Tim Matheson is excellent as a fisherman who loves and respects nature and eventually a beautiful woman. I learned a lot about salmon fishing and the risks the fishermen take to put salmon on our tables. Tantoo Cardinal's explanation of the Indian Ritual was beautiful and so true. So much of the movie was simple, yet powerful and beautiful. I read Edith Iglauer's book and thought it was very good. Even though, the movie takes some liberties, it was easy to see how much John and Edith loved and respected each other in both the book and the movie. My two favorite scenes were when Edith was telling John she had to go back to New York and his response, and then when they got off the boat to walk up to their wedding altar. The way John looked at Edith and placed his hand over hers would melt one's heart. He was so masculine and Edith was so feminine, and yet, she would not only become a part of this rugged life, but make it a part of hers. There is something to be said for going back to nature. Wonderful, wonderful story.

Jeremy Scholes Yes it's a plain and simple love story that was never going to be an Oscar contender. But not as awful as some think. John and Edith don't fall in love overnight as suggested elsewhere - She's up in BC for 3 weeks before the relationship is fully realised. Secondly the scene on the boat could hardly be called "getting naked" in a sense of ridicule. They merely remove wet clothes to save freezing and covered immediately in blankets the most you ever see of Edith is a bit of bare arm ! I enjoyed the film. Tim Matheson gave as solid a performance as you see regularly on West Wing and he would warrant parts in more aignificant movies than this. Jaclyn Smith looked about 35 instead of the 53 she was when the film was made and was attractive and ultimately heart-warming in the part.In summary a nice film to watch on a wet afternoon.

alfo The direction of the film is one of the weakest elements in this movie. Luckily, veteran TV superstars Tim Matheson and Jaclyn Smith are on hand to deliver one of the best romantic performances you'll ever see in the small screen. It's a pity the director didn't give the two more screen time to explore the relationship between the them. It's half bake.But this is the kind of movie, you rarely see in Hollywood now a days. The two lead stars are so wonderful to watch and probably one of the best chemistry I've seen on TV. These two should make more movies together!

tareqzadeh This is a good romantic film and to my surprise it was really touchy. The story is an orthodox one of love. the kind that starts with tensions and resistance and ends up with everlasting love.to add more the movie is also giving a clear and simple idea about our lives. It tells us to stop for a moment and ask what are we doing, a question that some poeple rarely give time for.The movie was good and i if you like to have a good time and watch a simple direct movie which is not filled with false action please see it and you will not be sorry.
