Jacob Have I Loved (1989 TV Movie)
Short and sweet movie at around 50 minutes.
7 March 2008
Warning: Spoilers
The production values are just ordinary and the sound is mono, but as I was watching it I thought, we should have a bigger selection of movies that are just 50 to 60 minutes long.

This one has Bridget Fonda as one twin, Louise Bradshaw, and Jenny Robertson as her fraternal twin, Caroline Bradshaw. They were in their early 20s here, playing girls still in school.

Louise was the rugged one, willing to tackle almost anything. She worked with her dad on their boat, pulling in and sorting crabs. She had dark hair and seemed often jealous of her sister. She even had dreams where she was about to harm her sister.

Caroline is the blonde, delicate, pretty, and a superb singer. The family and friends often remarked about Caroline which made Louise's jealousy even harder to handle. Then some money was given to help send Caroline off to Baltimore for school and to help her pursue her musical career.

John Kellogg is old, grizzly Captain Wallace who, when he was younger, had been the target of the pretty ladies in their small sea-side community. He comes back to the community in his 70s and he and Louise become friends of sorts. He recognizes her issue and helps her work though them. He convinces Louise that she has to quit worrying about her sister and find her own place in life.
