‘Touch and Go’

This generally overlooked 1986 release is one of Michael Keaton’s best. In his first major dramatic role he’s cast as a lonely playboy Chicago hockey star who inadvertently becomes concerned with a street kid (Ajay Naidu) heading for trouble. Eventually, Keaton (pictured) becomes involved with the boy’s mother (Maria Conchita Alonso, right, in one of her best roles too), a proud but struggling single parent. This is a nifty contemporary love story dealing with the challenge of commitment, well-directed by Robert Mandel from a script by Alan Ormsby, Bob Sand and Harry Colomby (ABC early Tuesday at midnight).
