Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe film was based on the 1987 book "Burning Bridges: Diary of a Midlife Affair" by Inette Miller. However, she was not given on-screen credit in the film as the studio did not ask for a release from a woman who is based on one of the characters in the film and was concerned that she might sue.
Featured review
At 1:12:44 Meredith Baxter's character "Lyn" cries out "I WON'T LIVE WITHOUT PASSION" and it made cry when I first watched this movie in 1990. I related to "Lyn's"pain so much. MB brought to life the reality of lacking love in a stale marriage, the loss of a forbidden love & then no more options of any kind of relationship. The movie BURNING BRIDGES is still so powerful today! I am now 56 yrs old & alone and this movie, MB's performance resonates just as much! Anyone who is going through a loss of self will be redeemed by this movie. Powerful theme, powerful performances. Such a shame this picture has never been seen by the masses. MEREDITH BAXTER has always been a good actress but in this movie she is GREAT!
