Teringer An Exercise In Nonsense
Sexyloutak Absolutely the worst movie.
SanEat A film with more than the usual spoiler issues. Talking about it in any detail feels akin to handing you a gift-wrapped present and saying, "I hope you like it -- It's a thriller about a diabolical secret experiment."
Kaelan Mccaffrey Like the great film, it's made with a great deal of visible affection both in front of and behind the camera.
MartianOctocretr5 When I think of lost treasure movies by genre, this one certainly makes the claim as the best "Who-dun-it?" police drama mystery I've seen.It hits the mark on so many levels: first, an all star banner cast of great actors who are just fun to see all working together on this unique TV mystery. Clever scripting and a brilliant red herring that make for a puzzle that gradually unfolds until that one big key element is finally revealed.As evidence witness statements are gathered, the story takes form of a middle aged suburbia housewife's (Janet Leigh) numerous trysts while her traveling salesman is away. At the opening, her daughter (trivia alert- -that's Eve "Jan Brady" Plumb) arrives home and finds a blood soaked mess in the kitchen, and her mother missing. Soon, Lt. Dan August (Christopher George), a shrewd and dedicated detective tries to sort through all the evidence and the gossip about the missing woman, and determine what really happened in that house. There are several fine sub-plots about police work in general, and wonderful characterizations all around from the cast.A TV movie from the 70's made by the Quinn-Martin people, who produced several crime dram TV shows at that time. Definitely worth finding this one for a good watch.
slsutton-1 i also saw this movie when younger (around 7 or 8) and like the other user comments, i remember one scene with blood all over the place in a house. it scared me so much at the time that i actually remembered the name of the movie, found it on IMDb and am now writing this comment. over the years i have remembered then forgotten again, but from time to time would search for it out of curiosity, as if to see if the movie was really the one i saw. I don't remember anything else, just that one haunting scene. there was something about the presentation of themovie/scene that was very realistic, unlike many movies today. it was like suburban nightmare behind close doors sort of image.
dshakey I am dying to see this film again but cant find it anywhere and everyone i ask about it gives me blank looks! Mommy i'm home is the opening line, and what follows has stuck in my head for 38 years! just goes to prove that this era produced some of the best entertainment around! the bloody hand print on the fridge, the mess in the kitchen, all simple stuff by todays standards but left a much bigger impression on me than some of the rubbish that passes for entertainment nowadays! I was only 6 years old when i first saw this film so i didn't really appreciate Janet Leigh's professionalism and beauty until i watched Psycho much later, i then realised the similarity between the two films! if the powers that be are reading, please release this on DVD!
dlp I really enjoyed this movie and I wish it was released to video. In the opening scene, where Janet Leigh's daughter Eve Plumb comes in, raises chills. There's blood on the refrigerator door. You wonder, what happened. Where there's blood then there must be a body. Could it be Janet Leigh was murdered like in Psycho, by Anthony Perkins? You start detective work, investigating and come up, with your own clues.
