3/10
Bad idea

Warning: Spoilers
This film reminded of the the days when local TV stations fit films into a time slot. If it didn't fit, they cut it down to size. Except that I saw the entire film. It was just so choppy. The writers tried to boil 50 years down into less than 100 minutes. They seemed afraid of leaving out any of the book's high points. So it veered from one big moment (boy-meets-girl, boy instantly loves girl) to another. It had already lost me when a professor assigned reading the Constitution and Declaration of Independence in one night. I doubt the writers ever read the Constitution. Ms B. finally accepts a dream job in NY. College president asks her not to. Never mind. As for spoilers: The title contains its own spoiler! From it we know that the heroine will be a success in her field...and that she will never get married.
