I was kept entertained, wanting to know how the story played out. There's nothing wrong with being derivative so long as the end result is solid. The sex scenes are more "steamy" than "erotic" (not a huge amount of flesh is shown). They complement the movie well, adding to the atmosphere. So what if they're accompanied with sax music?? That was in vogue at the time. It was 1991. That's like criticizing the film for a character having a particular hairstyle - entirely dumb. Fashions change - what does that have to do with anything?
This wasn't a theatrical film, remember, and it had only the scope of a TV movie. However the main cast trio are excellent, they really elevate the script ot of mediocrity with their beauty, naturalness and talent. JoBeth Williams as protagonist I would single out: There's a real sense of audience compassion as she's hesitantly being romanced at her stage in life, then falling for her lover, then struggling to square this with things she's been hearing about him (from her patient). She's also quite sexy.
It's not a film that has much longevity once the mystery has been solved for you, but it's good for a once-through if you're into the genre.
