When my former husband wanted to leave the marriage, the first time, then wanted to make it work, then wanted out again, after the third time I filed for divorce, and though it broke my heart, I did the right thing for myself, the kids and even my former spouse. I healed and really started to live!
After being married for seven years, l kept asking myself “is this how l want to live for the next 40 years?” For six months l kept answering NO and left. I never married again and now 72….no regrets.
Spectacular movie! I honestly have never been disappointed in anything that Richard Thomas has done from The Waltons, the Stephen King movie It and so on. He’s seems to be way underrated-he really is.
I'm afraid I don't agree with you when it comes to Thomas' acting abilities, he tends to overact, especially when he did "The Waltons" although his performance here was adequate.
I love watching all these old LMN movies that I grew up watching in the 80’s/90’s the setting back then was much more fulfilling than todays movies! I appreciate, quality and real talent! Thank you to whomever uploads these great movies! Taking me down memory lane and I love it! God bless you all!
Yes I feel like we grew up in the luckiest time like the 80s 90s & early 2000s the best , it’s all gone to shit since then with draconian governments taking over our lives & bs virus’s with inoculations that are killing people it’s like a mass genocide, & nobody even notices, I wish more CIA would come out
Richard Thomas, Michael Landon, Leonardo DiCaprio, Sean Astin, Rory McCaukin....and so many others all stated they had to get out of the box people tried to put them in as Child Actors and seeing them only as the characters they played as kids. I can definitely say they did a damn good job of doing so. They all grew up to be phenomenal Actors. 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽
64 and alive by the Grace of God, the good Lord knows the barbs of evil were set upon me!❤❤❤Satan’s snares, hares and accomplices are everywhere in the air - BEWARE!❤❤❤
Late 70s, 80s had the best movies, but I really like watching Richard Thomas in anything....a fantastic actor...because, it's like he's not acting. I grew up with the Waltons lol.
Well, I have watched several documentaries and he very well might be innocent! Any family where de patriarch is called 'Big Daddy' and the son abuses his sister has some very dangerous skeletons in their closet! In one of the documentaries it was stated that Big Daddy made sure (even made a schedule) that the whole courtroom was filled with 'his' people. The handwriting was confirmed by one specialist but rebutted by another one, the one from Big Daddy! The company CEO that sold the arsenic poison was a joke, "I only write my invoices by hand" and "This invoice is fake"...Which company writes invoices by hand since the 80'ties, really? To me it seems that the family had a very big skeleton (the abusive, alcoholic and drug addict son!) and had the money, power, connections to make it so the husband did it as he was no family after all!!
@@colinmorsink9685 My god there are so many problems with your statement that it borders on conspiracy theory. The forensic document examiner was brought in by the prosecution (Hartford Kittle) and the "diary" was absolutely a forgery. And what does the co. (it's not an "arsenic" company but rather a co. that buys carpet pad and furniture foam scraps to make chemicals, NOT arsenic) writing their invoices on a handwritten invoice have anything to do with some big conspiracy of the brother and the family poisoning Nancy?? It was proven that Richard not only obtained the arsenic as he had it sent to a PO Box that belonged to him on the fake invoice where he forged Nancy's name as the purchaser, he moved in with Nancy during the last two weeks the poisoning was highest in her bloodstream causing her death. Nancy also told her doctor (who testified) that she became sick after Richard gave her a drink at the movies that had white powder in it and that he was giving her pills that he said were "vitamins" and she would become sick and stopped taking them. Forensics retrieved ALL pills in her house and found two with barium carbonate. Do yourself a favor and read the actual court transcripts. Forensic Files even made a document on the case. Richard Lyons is exactly where he needs to be. I just hope the family doesn't read comments like yours. It's inexcusable.
Funny but I never thought of him as underrated. Does anyone remember him in the movie with Brooke Shields where he played a sociopath stalking her? He was pretty great in that movie!
TOTALLY. Stalking Laura was one of those movies that really embedded itself into my psyche. I think it was the first time I saw Thomas play a character other than John-Boy Walton. I can recall thinking it would be terrible and that he couldn’t possibly make me buy that he wasn’t sweet and wholesome John-boy, but he was great! 😊
Richard Thomas did a great job playing his role in this movie .he always has topped all his roles n characters he played n all his amazing movies ..well done Mr Richard Thomas ..we love you .God Bless .
As someone said in the comments too, whenever I see Richard Thomas or a film with him in it, it's always good. He's such a brilliant Actor, special & talented. Love him. R uk
You have to watch “Stalking Laura,” if you’ve not already seen it. Richard Thomas plays about the absolute worst a person can be, and he does it brilliantly. Brooke Shields also stars. It’s one of the greatest tv films!
When we really want the villain to die confirms the actor really played well his character😂. Richard thomas nailed every single character he is given. He really connect whatever character he played.. He is so underrated he deserve much much more..
who are the "we" on whose behalf you are talking here?... honest to Goodness, I hope you'll never sit on criminal trial jury duty. You have really no solid evidence, even in the movie the evidence is flimsy and much more is left uninvestigated than investigated; yet, you decided for everyone who "we" think the "villian" is here. So, you want his character to die because a bunch of random ppl decided so?... Gawd, ppl are just dumb. And then these people are collected for a jury duty and make life and death decisions for other ppl's lives.
@marysifling279 He's not particularly attractive. Some men have moles and are hella sexy - the late Sir Roger Moore is a prime example - but Richard Thomas has an odd skull and weird hairdo. In my opinion his acting is forgettable as well.
@@shelleyross3141 Yes and also "STALKING LAURA" w/Brooke Shields based on a true story about a co-worker/stalker. He was so convincing! What a great actor!
I agree that these old movies are gems, I used to love watching all lifetime movies, all weekend long ...lol...now movies and TV are empty fluff...its sad 😔.. these movies are great , thanks !
25:55 The hysterical laughter of Nancy's brother while he was dancing with Richard's future lover while clinging on to his champagne glass had me in stitches. So bad, it's good.
@Linda Miscandlon Yes, exactly, of course I don't personally know him/his private-self, but as an actor that comes to him so naturally. For example in that 1993 TV-movie I Can Make You Love Me he is creepily excellent.
A thoroughly good film, and at least it was plausible, with actors playing their role parts convincingly. Thank you The Archive TV for sharing this film for our enjoyment, and our knowledge.
As a kid I never imagined I would see Richard Thomas in anything beyond The Waltons. When I close my eyes I can still hear the theme song. And who would have thought Ralph Waite would have been in the mini series "Roots"?
Generally no. But I think she was so messed up that she could have done this. The sicker she got the more attention she would finally have gotten from her family (who completely ignored her abuse by her brother), and her husband came back and looked after her. A horrible way to go, but it would have fulfilled a purpose. Then on top of it, she got to have her revenge against her husband (and the incest and her father’s attitude towards her all came out). Mission accomplished.

Richard Thomas - A true thespian. You should see the movie that launched The Waltons. It is a Christmas tale with all of the original actors as children and the same Grandma. Love it.
It is a pity that the story is based on real events. The story kept me intrigued till the end but left a bitter taste, like so many criminal acts. The cruelty of lots of people has no limits.
Richard Thomas is such a versatile actor. So wholesome as John Boy on the Waltons but he can play evil and creepy so well. He was so creepy in You’ll Like my Mother.
@@lenitaa7938 Like I said it is better to be on ones own than in an abusive relationship. Once one is on their own they understand the toxicity they endured & ultimately realize they can survive & thrive.
Yes. That is also what the Bible teaches about lying. When one considers that Satan is the father of lies, it ought to cause us all to reconsider our casual attitude towards telling lies - even the little white kind.

Such a bad molestation relationship between siblings and being said NO BIG DEAL by parents is very shameful and pathetic upbringing of parents themselves in their childhood and very cheap thinking abilities exhibited by such inhumane people
Thank You for sharing a suspenceful and thrilling movie.. The whole cast of actors and actresses played their roles very well. It's amazing how there seems to be more evidence needed to prove Richard Lyon killed his wife although the bruises in law or the nanny should have been questioned. The flick was amazing and I enjoyed it from beginning until the end. G'day from Sydney Australia😌😊
LMN needs to bring this types of movies back. Tired of their “part-time cupcake shop owner/part-time sleuth, throw the maid over the balcony in the last two minutes of the movie for stealing your baby and man”movies of the 2010’s and 20’s. 😬
So many underrated actors and especially in these movies. Richard Thomas is brilliant! Loved these movies from 80s and 90s. They were so well done and just far better to watch than what's being made now.
I am not saying he did it; but what I can say about men for sure is , that when they get another woman out of marriage, they don’t care about how many times you wash their cloth, clean the house, take care of the kids that both supposedly are responsible to protect, those kind of man becomes evil. They want you and those children completely out of their life. I would tell my story and he was a philosopher, it’s too painful! Yes absolutely, there are men capable to kill, to take you out of their way!
I absolutely love old Lifetime movies and TV movies from the 1980s to probably the really early 2000s. I was born in 1988 and remember these being on TV when tv movies weren’t complete trash. I watch a lot of older stuff because good stuff nowadays is few and far between.
Me too I live with my guide dog just the 2 of us thank goodness and I am never longley. I get up when I want, go to bed when I want, I eat what I want. I am happy
I remember gary frank who played her brother here .. was on family .. i am aging myself but what a great show it was. Omg i miss yesterday . I miss my mom terribly but she wouldnt like these times
Something tells me the brother did it and he framed her husband because they all have money and what not to do so. Richard just seems a bit lost yet the guy that always ends up being the fall guy. I need a part 2 looking at the brother
It’s been so odd that the last couple movies I’ve watched have Tess Harper in them!! I just finished watching the entire Breaking Bad series, and yet here Tess Harper shows up in my suggested movies to watch!
@@Southamericangirl42 I think you spelled it right. I watched the entire Breaking Bad series at my brother’s for like 5 weekends in a row. So not from any of my devices. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me if my phone was listening. Which would be included in my algorithm for sure! You may be right!
@@claudiazommernig9773 1. You failed to begin your sentence with one. 2. It's considered rude, to emphasise a polite piece of advice; with an explanation mark. Best wishes 🇬🇧🤝🇺🇸
Innocent or not, he sealed his fate when he brought his mistress in the house so soon after his wife's death. No loving father as he portraited himself to be, would subject his children to such a thing so soon after their mother's death.
Also, he didn't know the cause of Nancy's untimely death; she was a young, vibrant, healthy woman. He never questioned what caused her sudden, agonizing death. Though his case rested on much circumstantial evidence, I still feel he's the culprit, not Nancy's brother, as some seem to speculate. Circumstantial evidence, depending on its context, can seal a person's fate.
I was so upset when he did that ?! And her saying the phone was for her, like she moved in already ?! You bringing another woman into the same house where you and your former wife spent years together in ?! Wow 😮😮
Lifetime movies from the 90s are the best, great human dramas and fantastic writing. Nowadays they are such cliches, shallow dialogues and half hearted acting.
I truly believe that her family is covering for the brother. I think the brother did it because he always had a disdain for Richard, and the sibs had an unspoken relationship. Its quite sad that her family will use their money, to get whatever it is they wanted knowing damn well that the son, hasnt changed. RIP Nancy and Richard
Thank you for uploading for us. I really enjoy the fact that I could read the transcript along with the movie. That is so cool. Thanks again. Many blessings.
No matter what he does he will always be John Boy to me and oddly enough Richard lol ain't that the name of the character he played in that one movie that was also based in a true story where he was a stalker. Stalking Laura. That was the name of it. I believe his name was Richard in that one And he's Richard here and he's really Richard in real life. Idk who named him but they nailed it! 😁 Lol he's definitely a Richard!
Good old 'John Boy Walton' is such a versatile actor! ... I've seen 'STALKING LAURA', but that is nothing compared to 'DOWN, OUT AND DANGEROUS' ... This was his best film ever, to me! ... I thoroughly recommend it to everyone! 🙂🙂
It is shockingly absurd that the Defense did not have to give copies of all the information they had to the Prosecution. How could each side prepare for trial?? I assumed that was the law in every state. Sharing all info with both sides is the law where I live.
I don't think that's how the human mind works. There is scientific evidence that men, especially, can "compartmentalise" their emotions and actions, on different subjects.
@@wendischofield352 This is why there tends to be a double standard about adultery. Men can compartmentalize sex and make it totally separate from love or even emotion. It can be basically recreational. So they can still love their wife and family but separate their fun and games on the side. Women are generally different and usually sexual relations are entered into only when they are emotionally involved as well. So a women's infidelity would be a sign of an even more dysfunctional marriage than when a man does it. Of course from a Christian perspective ANY adultery is sin. I am just pointing out that men and women have some basic differences in how they think. Some wives even have the attitude that "when the bull goes over to the next field, it just gives the cow a chance to get a rest!" Men would never have such a casual attitude like that about their wife. In most Latin countries married men with a mistress is just par for the course. I am not condoning it because I believe what the word of God teaches about it being sin.
Thank you so much for your movie. I Love Richard Thomas. He Is A Great Actor. I Loved Him As John Boy In The Waltons and Many Movies On Sky. Thank You Do Much. 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘
When John Boy lost his innocence... I was quite convinced Gary Frank (the brother) did it, and quite honestly the few twists at the end did let me down. But that's life, such as it can sometimes turn out to be. What a world.
Richard is so lowdown. He destroyed his wife slowly and torturously he broke her familys hearts and tried to set up her brother and assasinate his character publicly. Richard would stop at nothing to acheive his sick ends
This Man is so evil and he think he is so smart he thought he could come back to his wife drug her and kill her and get the life insurance money and marry his mistress. What's worse no remorse he tried to ruin her character she is dead. True Psychopath
My dead ex had fallen into drugs and someone else. I did not know. I began to get very I'll. Gout, bloating, strange illnesses. Long story short, I realized what was happening. I threw out all the food in the fridge and anything open. Changed the locks and put one on the fridge. I began to get better. One of the dogs was too far gone. He died. He was always eating my food. The vet could not save him. My ex died in a crack house 20 years to the day, almost the minute we met. In my heart I know he was trying to leave that sociopath. Poisoning is more common than you think. People get poisoned in public all the time. Be careful where you eat and drink
The 80 and 90s lifetime movies were so much better,better actors,just better period I grew up watched lifetime and this brings back so many memories
Yes. Same here.
Yes same agree lifetime today has nothing on the 80'and 90 movies
I agree. All authentic

exactly my thoughts! lol by the way he played a number of bad characters in movies after he "had grown up"
And he never changed, he always looks like John Boy.
I just watched him in Yes Virginia ,there is a Santa Claus. Playing an Irish dad of 3 in NYC during Depression era. Thomas is a super talented actor.

It is a pity that the story is based on real events. The story kept me intrigued till the end but left a bitter taste, like so many criminal acts. The cruelty of lots of people has no limits.
I’m afraid real life is much crueller than fiction.
I didn't know Websters had put the word crueller in the latest edition
Sondra Locke directed this?? Wow, I am impressed.❤
Clint Eastwood gave her lessons. 👍
Richard Thomas always plays a perfect rolls that makes the movies he participates in really great.. Respectfully likes him
Thank you sir for your kind responce❤❤❤
Thank-you for your kind response❤❤❤
Thanks for kind response❤❤❤
*role
Yes.. Role... Thanks❤❤❤
Richard Thomas is one fine actor.
Richard Thomas is such a versatile actor. So wholesome as John Boy on the Waltons but he can play evil and creepy so well. He was so creepy in You’ll Like my Mother.
Oh yeah, he did a really good job in that one. I thought he was the devil spawn in You’ll Like My Mother !!
A very deserved guilty verdict!!! Such a cold calculating wicked man 😢
Silly woman cannot see she is better off without him. It is better to be single than stay in an unhappy marriage.
Amen to THAT !! I stayed with my dirtbag for 15 years longer than I should have. Now he's cheating (and lying, etc)
After enduring years in an abusive marriage..l always say..
" Better to be miserably single, than miserably married"
She needed him on the emotional level! Fear of abandonment!
@@lenitaa7938 Like I said it is better to be on ones own than in an abusive relationship. Once one is on their own they understand the toxicity they endured & ultimately realize they can survive & thrive.
@@christinecatt5391 True
Richard Thomas plays good roles when its a sinister one , have seen him in a few .
Quality upload, many thanks .
'Oh what a tangled web we weave/When first we practice to deceive'
Yes. That is also what the Bible teaches about lying. When one considers that Satan is the father of lies, it ought to cause us all to reconsider our casual attitude towards telling lies - even the little white kind.

Thank you to TH-cam for this good old 80's movie. Nice
Ummm...1995 - Not exactly 1980s.
Such a bad molestation relationship between siblings and being said NO BIG DEAL by parents is very shameful and pathetic upbringing of parents themselves in their childhood and very cheap thinking abilities exhibited by such inhumane people
Definitely...just like the Duggar family regarding Josh...stating he was just being curious...
What a monster, and she trusted him until the end.
Thank You for sharing a suspenceful and thrilling movie.. The whole cast of actors and actresses played their roles very well. It's amazing how there seems to be more evidence needed to prove Richard Lyon killed his wife although the bruises in law or the nanny should have been questioned. The flick was amazing and I enjoyed it from beginning until the end. G'day from Sydney Australia😌😊
"Night John boy" . Fascinating case with excellent acting all round .
LMN needs to bring this types of movies back.
Tired of their “part-time cupcake shop owner/part-time sleuth, throw the maid over the balcony in the last two minutes of the movie for stealing your baby and man”movies of the 2010’s and 20’s. 😬
😂 that’s accurate it’s funny
😅
So many underrated actors and especially in these movies. Richard Thomas is brilliant! Loved these movies from 80s and 90s. They were so well done and just far better to watch than what's being made now.
Richard Thomas, a good actor.
Yes! Check him out in It!
John boy
Emmy award winning actor🏆
A great movie. Unfortunately a true story. I love the actress who plays the DA.
I am not saying he did it; but what I can say about men for sure is , that when they get another woman out of marriage, they don’t care about how many times you wash their cloth, clean the house, take care of the kids that both supposedly are responsible to protect, those kind of man becomes evil. They want you and those children completely out of their life. I would tell my story and he was a philosopher, it’s too painful! Yes absolutely, there are men capable to kill, to take you out of their way!
god now I’m really depressed
And women just as capable but more likely to get away with it
Pure Evil
@@attadudepcActually, statistically women are much more likely to be convicted. Sexism is alive and well in the criminal legal system.
I absolutely love old Lifetime movies and TV movies from the 1980s to probably the really early 2000s. I was born in 1988 and remember these being on TV when tv movies weren’t complete trash. I watch a lot of older stuff because good stuff nowadays is few and far between.
Was more lonely when I was married than iv ever been on my own.
being alone is less complicated.
There now. 😢
Me too I live with my guide dog just the 2 of us thank goodness and I am never longley. I get up when I want, go to bed when I want, I eat what I want.
I am happy
Tess Harper is so beautiful besides being a good actress. Underrated in my opinion.
Agree! I'd like ro see Tess harper and Mare Winningham ( who is underated also) in a movie together.
You should see her starring in The Killing Secret... she's amazing in that movie beautiful Blue eyes
Good movie. Really liked how well richard played his role but so sad what happened to the wife.
I remember gary frank who played her brother here .. was on family .. i am aging myself but what a great show it was. Omg i miss yesterday . I miss my mom terribly but she wouldnt like these times
This was aired in Forensic Files, Season 10, Episode 21 with the title "Writer's Block. He was a cold blooded killer with no remorse.
I remember seeing that episode on Forensic Files...those court documents were forged..
Something tells me the brother did it and he framed her husband because they all have money and what not to do so. Richard just seems a bit lost yet the guy that always ends up being the fall guy. I need a part 2 looking at the brother
Saw this on forensic files. Very sad case Richard really thought he would go free and move on with his mistress
This Man call his Mistress while his wife is in ICU
It’s been so odd that the last couple movies I’ve watched have Tess Harper in them!! I just finished watching the entire Breaking Bad series, and yet here Tess Harper shows up in my suggested movies to watch!
@RadMc02
It's just the algorithm. Nothing odd about that. (Did I spell that right?)
@@Southamericangirl42 I think you spelled it right. I watched the entire Breaking Bad series at my brother’s for like 5 weekends in a row. So not from any of my devices. Although, it wouldn’t surprise me if my phone was listening. Which would be included in my algorithm for sure! You may be right!
I see why their marriage was NOT working out. They were not a match at all. She definitely had her ways. *_That was still no reason to kill her._*
Richard Thomas is also in one of the best Outer Limits episodes ever.
The new breed. Yes it's my favorite.❤
LOVE THESE OLD MOVIES.
capital letters equals shouting thru the web!
Me too 😄

@@steffanhoffmann Thank you
Innocent or not, he sealed his fate when he brought his mistress in the house so soon after his wife's death. No loving father as he portraited himself to be, would subject his children to such a thing so soon after their mother's death.
Also, he didn't know the cause of Nancy's untimely death; she was a young, vibrant, healthy woman. He never questioned what caused her sudden, agonizing death. Though his case rested on much circumstantial evidence, I still feel he's the culprit, not Nancy's brother, as some seem to speculate. Circumstantial evidence, depending on its context, can seal a person's fate.
Right
I was so upset when he did that ?! And her saying the phone was for her, like she moved in already ?! You bringing another woman into the same house where you and your former wife spent years together in ?! Wow 😮😮
@marlanaferro1558
I completely agree with you.
@tayladunn7490
I was flabbergasted! Like she built the house with her bare hands! Home wreckers are really disgusting.
i love Richard Thomas acting and he good at what he does
Lifetime movies from the 90s are the best, great human dramas and fantastic writing. Nowadays they are such cliches, shallow dialogues and half hearted acting.
Thank you for this movie 🍿 R.I.P. NANCY
I truly believe that her family is covering for the brother. I think the brother did it because he always had a disdain for Richard, and the sibs had an unspoken relationship.
Its quite sad that her family will use their money, to get whatever it is they wanted knowing damn well that the son, hasnt changed.
RIP Nancy and Richard
Richard Thomas was excellent in all quiet on the western front. He took the book and made the role his
He just know how to update his acting for every role he is given he never dissapoinment audience . Great real actor very underrated..
Being the villain in movies, really work's well for Richard Thomas.
I know. Such an incredible actor!
Hell Yes!!!!!
He called his mistress but not the hospital to find out what killed his wife
Did that really happen? Or is it just the film presentation, the dramatization of events?
They said it's a true story
Thank you for uploading for us. I really enjoy the fact that I could read the transcript along with the movie. That is so cool. Thanks again. Many blessings.
I really enjoyed this movie. I was surprised that he was guilty. Thought it might have been the Nanny or the brother. Excellent acting
FYI some people read comments to see if the watch is worth it, not to have the ending revealed 😵💫
😠
Actually, I just did 😁😁@@clevelandplonsey7480
@@meloriginals7739 🤣😂🤭
I think it was the brother...my opinion...
I'm glad I stumbled on this movie coz I love Richard Thomas since The Waltons 👍
As it turns out john-boy's schooling made him "woke". 😒
No matter what he does he will always be John Boy to me and oddly enough Richard lol ain't that the name of the character he played in that one movie that was also based in a true story where he was a stalker. Stalking Laura. That was the name of it. I believe his name was Richard in that one And he's Richard here and he's really Richard in real life. Idk who named him but they nailed it! 😁 Lol he's definitely a Richard!
I know you will hate me, but he always gives me the super creeps😵💫Sorry. Can’t stand him.
@@annamarielewis7078 He does me too. If I seen him in real life honestly I'd probably run
@@annamarielewis7078 I feel the same way you do. He gives me the Creeps. So his Acting must be Amazing. But still a Creep.
Good old 'John Boy Walton' is such a versatile actor! ... I've seen 'STALKING LAURA', but that is nothing compared to 'DOWN, OUT AND DANGEROUS' ... This was his best film ever, to me! ... I thoroughly recommend it to everyone! 🙂🙂
Did you ever see him in "You'll Like My Mother"? Very young and a very early role for him but another creepy part!😀
@@frauleinmona ... No I haven't but I have previously searched for it on TH-cam and there was only a trailer for it, not the full film 😢
@@suesmith616It is one of his best. Atmospheric and chilling. He refers to himself in the third person and shares a cigarette with his mom.
@@nomiddlenamenmn427 ... I keep searching for "You'll Like My Mother" but it is never on TH-cam. I really want to watch it.
He got what he deserved ! Richard Thomas is a great actor , any film with him in is worth watching!
What a great film. I had a bad day. Thanks for making it better.
I'm so sorry you had a bad day ... I send you a deep hug.
One year later….how’s it going?
Single girl here!
Single girl free from worries. Who is he talking to who is he looking at who is he touching single girl happy over here😊
It is shockingly absurd that the Defense did not have to give copies of all the information they had to the Prosecution. How could each side prepare for trial?? I assumed that was the law in every state. Sharing all info with both sides is the law where I live.
What do you expect ... it’s Texas ... ffs.
@@lizsteeds6697 💯 👍🏿 👍🏾 👍🏽 👍🏼 👍🏻 👍
Richard Thomas also did Stalking Laura, and To Save The Children, both were also great movies
Stalking Laura was excellent...quite the suspense movie...
If he loved his girls he wouldn't have killed their mother.
$$$$$$
NOT love of daughters
I don't think that's how the human mind works. There is scientific evidence that men, especially, can "compartmentalise" their emotions and actions, on different subjects.
This is the same as when men claim to love you and abuse you at the same time.
wendi schofield b s. It’s pure narcissism
@@wendischofield352 This is why there tends to be a double standard about adultery. Men can compartmentalize sex and make it totally separate from love or even emotion. It can be basically recreational. So they can still love their wife and family but separate their fun and games on the side. Women are generally different and usually sexual relations are entered into only when they are emotionally involved as well. So a women's infidelity would be a sign of an even more dysfunctional marriage than when a man does it. Of course from a Christian perspective ANY adultery is sin. I am just pointing out that men and women have some basic differences in how they think. Some wives even have the attitude that "when the bull goes over to the next field, it just gives the cow a chance to get a rest!" Men would never have such a casual attitude like that about their wife. In most Latin countries married men with a mistress is just par for the course. I am not condoning it because I believe what the word of God teaches about it being sin.
He's so good at acting these creepy roles
Thank you so much for your movie. I Love Richard Thomas. He Is A Great Actor. I Loved Him As John Boy In The Waltons and Many Movies On Sky. Thank You Do Much. 🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘🤗⚘
When John Boy lost his innocence... I was quite convinced Gary Frank (the brother) did it, and quite honestly the few twists at the end did let me down. But that's life, such as it can sometimes turn out to be. What a world.
Richard is so lowdown. He destroyed his wife slowly and torturously he broke her familys hearts and tried to set up her brother and assasinate his character publicly. Richard would stop at nothing to acheive his sick ends
Thank you for downloading!
I love these old Tru Movies. Great Movie, But sad.
Presentation of this story so much matured ❤
I used to want to be in a relationship...but NEVER, NEVER, NEVER!!!!I will remain single!!!
Richard Thomas could act his John Boy ass off!!!!! Missed him on Broadway in the revival of "The Little Foxes. "
This Man is so evil and he think he is so smart he thought he could come back to his wife drug her and kill her and get the life insurance money and marry his mistress. What's worse no remorse he tried to ruin her character she is dead. True Psychopath
My dead ex had fallen into drugs and someone else. I did not know. I began to get very I'll. Gout, bloating, strange illnesses. Long story short, I realized what was happening. I threw out all the food in the fridge and anything open. Changed the locks and put one on the fridge.
I began to get better. One of the dogs was too far gone. He died. He was always eating my food. The vet could not save him.
My ex died in a crack house 20 years to the day, almost the minute we met. In my heart I know he was trying to leave that sociopath. Poisoning is more common than you think. People get poisoned in public all the time. Be careful where you eat and drink
Fifty any man that is jealous of a woman does not love her or he would trust her likewise also kmkm
Who tried to poison you???
Richard Thomas , always a great actor , especially , " The Waltons . "
The problem with movie is they suspected the husband rightaway without any prerequisites!!
How often is it correct
