★★ · Dog's enthusiasm says it all. · Spuzz · 2022-05-23
This looks to be the first part of a drama about a priest-in-training who gets the hots for a woman he saved from a spooked horse, he rescued her in a moving car while she was dangling precariously from the horse! The woman wants to thank the student, but is not sure how. So she invites him over. That's it for this reel. I mean, that's a great summary. There's a whole lot of religious filler in the beginning and what not before we get to the meat of the story.
