Viewing Notes

Surprisingly good for a little made-for-TV flick. Freddie Prinze demonstrates that he has charisma and acting chops early in his short career. Gotta wonder what he could have gone on to do. Swell supporting cast including the city of Chicago, which is prominently featured throughout the movie. Worth viewing for that alone.
