Gerard Butler plays a recovering alcoholic in this miniseries, who is attracted to one of the other jurors. How he treats her in this role is delicious. When I watched it, I thought, he has emotions like a women. But he is a man's man. So it is possible to be this kind of man, men.

For learning how to be beautiful in your treatment of a woman, watch Fred Astaire. He is not a manly man, but his manliness is never in question. He is not handsome, but his looks are never in question. It is how he treats a woman. If a writer can think it, then a man can do it!

I had forgotten about this movie, a remake of the Judy Holiday film. Melanie's and Don's characters had such chemistry. He taught her how to grow. Wisely, the director downplayed Don's arrogance and flipance to make him subdued and so totally attractive. A gem of a love story!
