But as both Arch and Curtis would no doubt attest, they were extremely fortunate to have as talented a pair of performers as the underrated Madeleine Stowe and the equally underappreciated Bruce Greenwood playing the leads.

Playing political journalist Mort Kondracke in "Saving Milly," actor
Bruce Greenwood is heard softly telling his story to a congressional

well-acted film...Both performers turn in first rate jobs.
