    This is a fatal attraction...

    The only reason this Movie was even made was because Kirk Douglas bought the movie rights so his Son Michael would have a job. I tried , as a Vietnam Combat war veteran, to watch this movie with an open mind. It's so hard picture Michael Douglas as a draft dodger. Come on, his Dad had to much money for this kid to be drafted. It's a bad movie and very hard ti through the entire film.
