Singer Trini Lopez proved he could act in The Dirty Dozen. He went on to show that he could carry a picture in Antonio, though precious few filmgoers got the chance to see it. Lopez plays a poverty-stricken potter in a South American village. Enter Larry Hagman, an American oilman on the lam from his divorce lawyer. Rather than have his expensive car fall into the hands of his ex-wife, Hagman gives the vehicle to Lopez. The gift unduly complicates Lopez' life, compelling him to travel over hill and dale to return the car to Hagman. This charming little morality play was directed by Claudio Guzman, who'd previously helmed several I Dream of Jeannie episodes costarring Hagman in the 1960s. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

The made-for-TV For Lovers Only was the pilot film for a potential series titled Honeymoon Hotel. Set in the Poconos, the story takes place in a fancy honeymoon resort managed by Vernon Bliss (Andy Griffith).

Guest stars on this first and last installment of Honeymoon Hotel include Katherine Helmond, Gordon Jump, Sally Kellerman and Jane Kaczmarzak. Look closely and you'll spot Tracy Pollan in a bit. Financed by Caesars Palace Productions, For Lovers Only was first telecast October 15, 1982. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
