Storyline
Featured review
Salem's Lot
I'm watching it as I type.
Bonnie Bedelia. I am always reminded of how beautiful she is and that she looks like Molly Shannon, formerly of Saturday Night Live, I think, anyway.
I had heard of her Oscar nominated performance in "Heart Like A Wheel" a movie about race car driver Shirley Muldowney, and I knew Bedelia was in the Die-hard movies, two of them anyway.
I looked her name up to see what else she might have done that I had seen.
Message to My Daughter, a 1973 telemovie.
About the right time. A quick read of the plot confirmed it. This is what I saw way back then.
I didn't watch all of it, but it seemed incredibly intriguing, and I do remember the abortion attempt, but she changed her mind.
It was the year of Roe v. Wade.
So was this movie pro abortion or anti abortion? 1973 wasn't a tame year for subject matter, but it is astonishing that more isn't heard about this film.
