LADIES' MAN

Ellen Layne, a beautiful, divorced English professor, is spending the summer with her two kids at the home of her uncle in New York City. Through a case of mistaken identity, handsome cop Sam Schaefer is introduced to her as a popular but reclusive writer. A stalker is after one of them, and, while a romance blooms between Sam and Ellen, Sam must find out just who is in harm's way. Kathe Mazur does an adequate job in a production that drags, weighed down with characters doing things that make it hard to care about them. She differentiates characters with changes in vocal pitch, but none of them are distinctive or very interesting. A.C.P. © AudioFile 2006, Portland, Maine [Published: DEC 06/ JAN 07]
