A simple premise - a man and a woman are stranded in a snowstorm, spend the night learning about each other and form an important friendship - becomes a moving TV movie thanks to the accomplished performances of James Garner (still looking good at 72) and Julie Andrews. Based on Jan Hartman's play A Winter Visitor, it is subtly directed by Roger Young and never descends into the mushiness you might expect from such a plot. The cast is uniformly good, but the real pleasure comes from watching the two veteran leads (appearing together on screen for the first time since the 1982 Blake Edwards film Victor/Victoria) go through their paces.

Builder Robert is visiting his ailing wife in a nursing home and is having problems getting a taxi home due to an intense snow storm. One of the doctors, Katherine offers him a lift home however their car gets stuck and they have to spend the night in an empty cabin nearby. They talk and bond, but afterwards seem to have difficulty beginning a relationship.
