Reviews

jaybabb This movie begs us not to depend on appearances-the events in this film are not what they seem to be! Nor are all the people are who they say they are!! And $750.000 is at stake!!I learned a lesson from reading Agatha Christie books-and I think it applies to this movie: If you suspect the person who is least likely to be suspected then he(or she)is likely to be guilty and, take whatever appears to be the truth-believe the opposite-then you are likely to come to the truth!!!

waldorfsalad You won't be bored for a minute with this one, it's very well-written and it's got some really neat plot twists. It's an interesting role for Mike Farrell who is very believable as the suspect and Margo Kidder ones again shows us what a fine actress she is. Elliott Gould, as the police inspector, is fantastic and Fred Gwynne, good old Fred, is swell as the clergyman. A great cast, a great plot, great direction, next time they run it, be sure to record and save it for a rainy afternoon with the family.

sbox Margot Kidder (Superman), Fred Gwynne (My Cousin Vinny), Elliot Gould (MASH), Mike Farrell (MASH), and Graham Jarvis (Journyman Project 1-3), lend their collective acting talents to this fine made for tv movie. Great effort.

Nic Cage-2 This is about as good as a TV-movie can get. I saw it when it first appeared on TV in 1986, and looked for it for the next 12 years, as it couldn't be found on video, then without warning, this excellent film hit video and cable on The Mystery Channel. The plot is not original, but it is a clever idea to borrow, and it has a helluva twist at the end, and it leaves you hanging all the way until that last minute. Fred "Herman Munster" Gwynne does a wonderful job, as well as Mike "MASH's B.J. Honeycutt" Farrell.
