guilfisher-1 Leading lady Natasha Henstridge seems to think acting is how low a cleavage you can wear. Playing every scene with a dress cut down to the deep south. Unfortunately her backside is equally as large as her breasts. Check her out walking in a pair of jeans also cut down from the back and you'll see what I mean. She can't act. I guess the casting call was someone with large breasts.Now the rest of the cast when you get the chance to see them as obviously the director, Peter Svatek, has only Natasha on his mind, do their best. James Brolin as a hungry male for sex. His daughters, Jewel Staite and Melinda Deines, try. As do Gabriel Hogan and Jeff Roop as victims to the lady's desires.This is typical LMN soap opera about women getting away with murder and the male species being stupid enough to let them.Best performance is Michelle Duquet as the dying wife to Brolin. She has some good moments.Natasha Henstridge should stick to Playboy.
disdressed12 this is based on a true story.just how much dramatic liberty was taken,is hard to know.anyway,it's about a woman who had pretty much nothing.she eventually marries into wealth.when her husband dies,there are questions about whether it was an accident or not.and of course,the movie suggests she wasn't faithful to he husband.either way,i found this movie very depressing,and a lot like a soap opera.yet i also found it hard to quit watching,at the same time.the acting was good all around,so that made it more watchable.still,if you're in a down mood,i wouldn't watch this movie.it might just make you more feel more down.for me,Widow on the Hill is a 5/10
kimber_hill I honestly thought this was one of the better lifetime movies and I am a big lifetime fan. I wish I could remember the ending but I know its a good movie. Nastashia (spelling???) does a great job as the nurse who became the widow. I saw this movie on the TV schedule the other night. I'd seen it before but couldn't remember the whole story. I looked to my right where my boyfriend was comfortably sleeping on the couch, ah hah, now's my lifetime movie chance. I settled in to watch the movie I'd remembered to be pretty good, wish I could remember the whole story but that's OK, I knew I was in for a good treat. One hour later, movie is going strong but its a work night, I got up early that day and its 10pm and I'm getting sleepy. So I drag my boyfriend to bed without seeing the last hour of the movie so once again I'm left with the memory of a good movie but still don't remember how it ended. I still wonder but.... am now searching the listings for a replay and/or trying to find this movie on DVD/VHS..Some people make fun of lifetime movies and yes some of them warrant that criticism but there are a few really good ones and this is one of them.
PRDPete1 James Brolin portrays the role of a wealthy and drop dead gorgeous widower who also happens to be a very decent and faithful man. (He does get better and better with age, doesn't he girls?) When he falls for an irresistibly gorgeous and seemingly devoted gorgeous bombshell, the plot becomes anything but predictable or boring.This movie has it all: Action,money,power,greed,family discord love, betrayal,and much much more.It is in no means the run of the mill 'soap opera'type film and has anything BUT a predictable ending.I consider myself an extremely harsh critic..and I rate this movie a 9 out of 10. It held my interest from beginning to end, and not only do I recommend seeing this movie, but I plan on seeing it again which is something I RARELY do.It contains some of the most tastefully done romance scenes that I have seen in a very long time.This is not your average run of the mill story with a predictable ending..it will capture your interest from beginning to the bitter end.
