The setting for this film is absolutely perfect. Gorgeous landscapes, and music (Patsy Cline, Elvis, Buddy Holly, Jim Reeves, and so much more) perfect for the period. Natalie Cooper wrote a great script that feels just right.

Patricia Charbonneau is just perfect as Cay, a free spirit that just wants to fly. She lights up the room every time she enters. She was the perfect tonic for the repressive Helen Shaver's ailment.

What I really liked was that this was a realistic love story. It wasn't about sex, but about two people finding out what they really want. It didn't end in a neat package, but with promise. It mirrored life in that respect; it just featured two women, that's all.

Audra Lindley was great as Cay's stepmother, and added more realism to the story. Andra Akers was really cool as her friend. Jeffrey Tambor was also featured in a bit part.

I just wish that I had six weeks to spend in the desert. It was so beautiful.

A stuffy professor heads to Reno for a quickie divorce and becomes infatuated with a young woman who lives at the ranch where she's staying. Helen Shaver and Patricia Charbonneau have sizzling chemistry as the romantic leads and this film has a nice distinction of being one of the few lesbian themed films that doesn't end in appalling tragedy or sugary sweetness. It's down to earth, smart, sexy, and incredibly entertaining.

Ok. Let's start with that I'm here in 2021 and there are still not enough lesbian movies that don't just exploit the characters and/or the community . And that have a freaking HAPPY ENDING!

What a heartwarming movie. The struggles are real, the quotes are on point and the disapproving -almost mothers and communities as well!

I love the chemistry of the characters and I also love the complexity of Francis-the bad guy. Also I find very sweet the way that the town kinda accepts Kay. Keep in mind that the movie takes place in the 50s (?) So that's even more amazing.

You just KNOW when the director of a movie is female! Especially when there are love scenes involved, especially gay ones!

That one is a classic and sadly not enough people have even heard of it.
