National General Release (Robert Wise production)
The very young and beautiful Barbara Hershy plays a free spirit bohemian, who agrees to bear a child for a couple.
Thematically, it’s a chronicle of surrogate motherhood, before the theme became a hot and relevant issue in the twentieth first century.
The film co-stars Scott Glenn (“The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Right Stuff”) and Jeannie Berlin.
This is the first feature by director James Bridges, who would go on to helm bigger and better films, such as “The Paper Chase,” “Urban Cowboy,” and “The China Syndrome,” before his untimely death of AIDS.
