Forbidden Love is a 1982 American TV film.^[1]

San Francisco businesswoman Joanna (Yvette Mimieuxj, a wealthy divorcee, who owns her own successful catalog company, meets Casey, the handsome aspiring heart surgeon and Marin county hospital intern (Andrew Stevens) half her age on a ski slope, and begins a love affair. As they date, she ends up showering him with lavish gifts, realizing his modest budget can't accommodate her style of dining and entertaining.

She later persuades him to move in with her, but their hot love affair runs afoul of his hard-working blue-collar parents and her disapproving college-age daughter (Lisa Lucas) only slightly younger than the doctor, in this umpteenth variation on the older woman-younger man romance theme.

As they are seen at society events, it becomes more obvious he is giving up his more casual social scene and friends in consideration for her, though it is a struggle for him.

However, when their relationship collides with the judgment of their respective families and snide comments from outsiders, Joanna relents and breaks his heart by suddenly ending their relationship. In the last scene, he is seen packing his clothes but leaving the mansion, leaving behind all of her gifts, including the new sports car as he departs with tears in his eyes.
