Oh, I totally think they managed to sell it. Cross and Going had some great chemistry together. That, IMHO, is what carries the romance off. The thing is that Going's Victoria is a lot more, shall we say, reality-based. That's what's fighting against the creepy romance.

Thanks for the comments! Also, just want to say that I love Gilda (just flashed back to a line in Janine Basinger's A Woman's View where she remarks that "Gilda has enough twisted sexuality to fill dissertations for a lifetime." Misquoting, but you get the idea).

Mary Elizabeth:
Thank goodness i am not the only one who thought about poor Jean Simmons. I mean the woman made out with Brando for Crissakes! [hall2_kiss] the worst part for me was in the pilot episode when everytime someting terrible would happen she would either have to look bewildered or put her hand to her forhead like she just couldn't take it anymore.

But I do have to say that having to Revival series on DVD, digitally remastered really makes it look so much better and it was definatly worth the $34 I paid for it.
