Elizabeth Montgomery stars as Alexandra, a woman blind since she was a teenager. I don't think they ever said why or how she became blind, but either way she has adapted to the sightlessness and now she lives in her own little world. She works at a museum assisting blind children, she has a good friend there, and she goes home where she feels comfortable.
Her brother knows that she won't consider surgery, they've been down that road before. But, after her house is robbed, she does decide to get a guide dog. About that same time she has been out on a few dates with gentleman suitor Richard. Despite the fact she has a giant chip on her shoulder and acts a bit like a self important bitch, he likes her anyways.
Then, the things that happen are her getting the dog, bonding with the dog, and her getting a boyfriend and bonding with the boyfriend. Once again, the prevailing theme tends to be that if these movies are more dramatic and emotionally told, I like them more. And this is following that trend. The acting is good, the story has enough going on. It's not a great movie by FAR, but it delivers on what it intends to do at least somewhat.
I'll give it a 3 I suppose.
