Candles on Bay Street (2006 TV Movie)

Candles on Bay Street- Light A Prayer for It ***

Warning: Spoilers
Hallmark Channel seems to have recurring themes in their films. Someone always returns home either for romancing a widower, coming to grips with a bitter relationship with a parent, or as in the case with this tear jerker, Alicia Silverstone comes home to leave this earth as she is suffering from terminal cancer.

It first appears that Silverstone will come into conflict with the wife of the vet that she loved dearly in childhood.

Her young son is most appealing as we find out why her marriage dissolved with tragic consequences.

The film tries to depict the strong ties that bind a small town together. This was nicely done.

Polly Bergen, as Rosemary, has a small role as the vet's secretary. She does a little singing in one scene but time has hurt her once beautiful voice. Nevertheless, it's always good seeing Bergen on film.
