Swearing Allegiance
Based on a sensational true story, 'Swearing Allegiance' is an engrossing and tragic story of young love twisted by the demands of adulthood and the inevitability of growing apart. Diane Zamora (Holly Marie Combs) and her boyfriend, David Graham (David Lipper), are ideal all-American teenagers - good grades, good looking, bright futures - and they are very much in love. They enroll in seperate military academies for college, but sweare to each other that they bound together by their devotion. They believe that nothing will ever come between them. But something does in the form of David's beautiful new classmate, Adrianne (Cassidy Rae), who he finds impossible to resist. Confessing his transgression to Diane, he fears her rage but gets an ultimatum instead: he can erase his infidelity if he helps Diane kill Adrianne. Can a plan this diabolical save their love, and if it does, can they get away with their heinous crime?
My Thoughts:
This is a TV Movie that is also known as "Love's Deadly Triangle: The Texas Cadet Murder".... that stars the always lovely Holly Marie Combs (Piper on Charmed)... I have been a fan of hers since I first saw her many years ago in the movie "Dr. Giggles". This was a Blind Buy based solely on the fact that Holly Marie Combs is in it. The movie itself was a pretty good story... I enjoyed it. But... as much as I hate to say this... I don't think Holly Marie Combs was right for the part. Not do to her acting ability... because she was great as usual... but because I didn't buy her as a teenager fresh out of high school. Granted... she does look young for her age... but she was 24 playing a 17yr old... and it was just a little bit of a stretch in my opinion... because she was already matured more then what I picture as a teen fresh out of high school. Of course this wasn't such a big problem that it will stop me from watching it again... it is still a decent movie... and lets face it... it is still a movie with Holly Marie Combs. :P
