Valerie Bertinelli, very watchable
The seduction of Gina
Valerie Bertinelli stars as a young wife who feels abandoned by her hard working husband. After going to Lake Tahoe with some friends, Gina becomes hooked on gambling. Her husband doesn't notice anything is wrong at first, but then realizes that Gina isn't staying home at night. Gina becomes so wrapped up in gambling that she inevitably gets into financial trouble. There are other seductions at play as well. Valerie Bertinelli is good as is the rest of the cast, although the film does suffer from cliches of 1980s made for television films, most notably the score, which is a little ridiculous. I did notice that Eddie Van Halen, Bertinelli's husband at the time, contributed to the score. Overall, this isn't a great film, but it isn't terrible either. I would say it's a typical 1980s made for television movie.
