I was able to get a copy of it from someone who has been taping stuff off TV for years now. It is on DVD as well, along with a couple of other movies. Check ebay and/or amazon. You might be able to find it. Good luck!

I just watched "Callie & Son," a terrific potboiler of a film from 1981 with Lindsay Wagner, Jameson Parker, Dabney Coleman, Michelle Pfeiffer and a lot of other recognizable faces (if not names). 7/10 stars from me.

I've just watched "The Comeback Kid" from 1980, a terrific comedy/romance/drama with John Ritter as a washed-up baseball player who coaches underprivileged children. Also features Susan Dey in a supporting role and a bit part by Patrick Swayze. Well worth seeking out. 7/10 stars from me:

"Dixie: Changing Habits" from 1983, with Suzanne Pleshette as a bordello owner sentenced to work in a convent owned by Cloris Leachment. Hilarity and, ultimately, harmony ensue. 7/10 stars from me:

"Her Life as a Man" from 1984, an enjoyable romantic comedy about a woman who disguises herself as a man to get a job as a sportswriter. Features a small role by Joan Collins. 7/10 stars from me.

"Her Life as a Man" is very pleasant, entertaining, and enjoyable. I remember watching it when it was new (which seems like so long ago.) I have the vhs too and I recently rewatched it for the first time in many years. It's a shame this movie has become so obscure (like most TV movies do.)

You were lucky to see this when it aired, TVmovieViewer! I hadn't heard of it until I found it at a thrift store for 50 cents. It's a very entertaining romantic comedy with some charming humor and sharp satire. It also has high production values like you'd expect from a theatrical film.
Along those lines, I was wondering why there doesn't seem to be a thread for Joan Collins' TV movies on this board. She seems to deserve one because she's been very prolific on television as well as in films. I thought of creating one, but this didn't seem the best place to start because her role is quite small here (despite her prominence on the VHS box). -

Hello, TVmovieView: Did you ever see "Stranger in My Bed," a 1987 TV movie with Lindsay Wagner as an amnesia victim getting reacquainted with her family? Check it out if you haven't.
Amnesia films are a tired genre in my book, but Lindsay has the charm and talent to make it work for me. Armand Assante plays her ever-so-patient husband. 7/10 stars from me:
