OK so this is not an A list cast but they are still names with talent and Terence Stamp is one of the finest actors working. Aside from the money and possible blackmail what could have possessed these actors to participate in this piece of cliché ridden garbage? The "automatic" best seller that serves as the engine of the plot could never even make it as a harlequin romance. The awful love story is of the heaving white bosom variety and positively nauseating. This is some of the worst writing I've ever seen and the DIRECTING! Jeez what this guy lets his actors get away with! Eliza does nothing but moon and pose at the camera while the lead actress slinks around with this stupid frozen grin on her face. Ileana, I love you - you're great - what happened? And Billy, things can't be THIS bad. Cheesy enough to require a cholesterol check. Better film on teeth. Shockingly awful. All the markings of a vanity film.
