RE:  Pre-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement No. 333-49475
     ---------------------------------------------------------------------


Ladies and Gentlemen:

This opinion is furnished in connection with Registration Statement No. 333-
49475 for MassMutual's Flexible Premium Adjustable Variable Life Insurance
Policies (the "Policies") under the Securities Act of 1933. The prospectus
included in the filing describes the Policies. I am familiar with the forms of
the Policies and the prospectus.

In my opinion, the illustrations of benefits under the Policies included in the
section entitled "Illustrations" in Appendix A of the prospectus, based on the
assumptions stated in the illustrations, are consistent with the provisions of
the respective forms of the Policies. The age selected in the illustrations is
representative of the manner in which the Policies operate.

I hereby consent to the use of this opinion as an exhibit to Registration
Statement filing and to the reference of my name under the heading "Experts" in
the prospectus.

Sincerely,



/s/ Craig Waddington
