Illusions

I recently got a chance to see this movie on the Hallmark Channel and it kept me glued to the TV for at least the first hour! Karen Valentine gets to play the naive woman once again (she has the big deer eyes to pull it off) in this story of a young widow who finds out that she doesn't really know her husband of two years at all. She follows his trail all over Europe (it feels like an American guide to Europe in ten days - London, Paris, Stockholm, Amsterdam) and with the help of an Interpol Agent eventually discovers her husband is still alive - even though it's just long enough for her to be there when he dies. It's schmaltzy and very dated (it looks more like a seventies movie than an early eighties one), but it kept me interested on a lazy afternoon.
