A lesser known New Hollywood sports film, set in the world of tennis. During a Wimbledon championship tournament, a rising tennis star falls in love with an older woman, a jet-setter who is in turn involved with a millionaire.

Martin also was an avid pilot obtaining his license at the age of 16. He became an officer in the California Air National Guard in 1981, and in 1987, having risen to the status of captain, tragically crashed during a snowstorm in the San Bernadino Mountains.
