Our Against All Odds (1984) — The Movie Database (TMDB) Diaries

I understood about this film for three factors, the romantic element it was indicated to have, the leading male star, and the tune by Phil Collins, besides that I just sat back and wished for something fascinating, directed by Taylor Hackford (An Officer and a Gentleman, The Devil's Supporter, Ray, Parker).

Jake desires Terry to track down his sweetheart, Jessie Wyler (The Thorn Birds' Rachel Ward), who has disappeared somewhere in Mexico, she is daughter of a rich land designer, who owns Terry's group, obviously she has taken cash from him, Jake claims he simply would like to know what has actually occurred to her.

Wyler (Build My Gallows High's Jane Greer), to get info about where to find her daughter, but also to persuade her business partner Ben Caxton (Richard Widmark) to restore him on the group. Terry travels to the eastern coast of Mexico, to Cozumel, an island in the Caribbean Sea, and he finds Jessie living there, she refuses any attempts he makes to approach her, as she is positive he was sent by Jake or her mother.
