“This film is seen by quite a few people as a bit of a turkey but I liked it very much. One other correspondent said he watched it for Ian Richardson and Nick Brimble but my main reason for watching it was Penelope Ann Miller (as with Other Peopleu0026#39;s Money). Sheu0026#39;s just gorgeous and the scene where Timothy Daly says u0026quot;the first time I saw you I wanted to sleep with youu0026quot; touched a chord with me. Sheu0026#39;s the epitome of the beautiful heroine. Iu0026#39;m a bit of a munro-bagger and have climbed a few of the mountains in the background of a few scenes in this film. Hummie Mann produced some nice celtic music for the Scottish scenes. It puzzles me though how Timothy Dalyu0026#39;s character could remain so fit looking despite consuming vast quantities of beer (so addicted heu0026#39;d brink a can of Bud in a sauna). I admit it could have been better given the vast assemblage of talent involved in it but Penelope Ann Miller brightens up the worst turkey.”
