Revealing mistakes: In the scenes where Anna and Sarah first escaped they were riding bareback then there were times you could see saddles on the horses, especially at the river where they're recaptured - you can see them bareback, but when Anna's horse goes down you can see a saddle on her horse.

Quotes:

Tokalah: You are a liar, a thief.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: How dare you call me a thief? You are the thief! You stole me from my home!
Tokalah: I gave you a better home.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: I never asked to be taken from my husband.
Tokalah: You did ask. I heard you ask.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: You arrogant fool.
Tokalah: What did you call me?
Anna Brewster-Morgan: [slaps at him] I said you thoughtless, arrogant fool!
Tokalah: [yanks her head back by her hair] Don't ever speak to me that way again.
Anna Brewster-Morgan: I'll never speak to you any other way.

Easily Romantic

Very often, TV movies are overly corny, acting stinks and the plot always ends up with the same result. In this case, I don't think that happened. I really enjoyed this one. Every time there is a film about white woman being taken by Native Americans, there's always disastrous results. You can't tell me that maybe, every once in a while, just maybe..there was a love found somewhere. Thats what I liked about it. I also like that they showed two sides, one conforming, the other resisting. I have looked for this movie to be able to see it again, but have failed. I think Janine Turner is underused as an actress. She's stunning to look at and isn't half bad in the acting department. This is a "throw your blanket over yourself, sit down with some icecream on the couch, rainy day movie". If you are a sucker for romance, you'll love this one. And not to mention....looking at gorgeous Native Americans' with no shirts on, is never a bad thing!
