You will need one of two things to get you through this TV movie, depending on your views on unashamedly sentimental melodramas in which bitter enmity turns to friendship in the face of terminal illness. If you know this is going to set the waterworks in motion, then reach for the tissues, but if the idea alone makes you nauseous, the off button is probably the safer bet. As the finally reconciled women, LA Law's Jill Eikenberry and Melrose Place's Laura Leighton make the most of a glutinous script in a movie that really does have to be seen to be believed.

A ambitious reporter investigating a murder case becomes intrigued with a mysterious woman whom she suspects is having an affair with her husband.
