THANK YOU. TH-cam for having the parts to this movie together and not just having the first part with no way to see the rest of it. I hope this becomes policy for all films that are broken out into two or more parts. Thsnks, again.
I realize this movie is 25 years ago but it still speaks loudly about living within your means!! This Mom is facing reality and doing a great job at it.
@@shydreamguyman4098 NOPE! THIS MOVIE CAME OUT IN THE 1990'S. 1993 TO BE EXACT. SEPTEMBER 25TH 1985 IS THE EXACT DATE THAT STEWARD AND NEIL'S PARENTS WERE MURDERED IN THEIR GARAGE.
I CANT stand how they are so rude to their mother....I was not raised to be rude to my parents or TALK back at all.....NO....THAT was a No, NO in my house. And im glad my parents raised me to learn to be polite and respectful.
@Mia Cero PARENTS ARE SUPPOSED TO TEACH THEIR CHILDREN RESPECT BY RESPECTING THEIR OWN PARENTS AND ELDERLY PEOPLE. PARENTS SHOULDN'T LET THEIR CHILDREN DISRESPECT THEM AT ALL!
A person who can murder their parents , loves no-one but themselves. Stewart manipulated his children even from prison. He brought up his children like he is ; with no respect for others , spoilt, rude , ignorant , materialistic , nasty and stuck-up. And he made sure that they had no respect for their mother! They even bought his lies about him being innocent even though he confessed ! Stewart maintained his innocence until it benifitted him to tell the truth . He was disloyal to his brother to save his own skin! He is a big fat coward ! And a vile, disgusting monster!
I watched the whole movie, but if the father really did kill the parents, he must've really manipulated his kids into thinking he's innocent which is bad parenting and now look at how they ended up. He lied to them and they were in denial to think he's not a murderer.
Son is already following his dads footsteps, high schoolers at racetrack gambling and having steak dinners?? Daughter running away and stealing. I don't know how she kept it together!! Despicable killing your parents for money, leaving your family behind to fend on their own, MY Goodness the lives that were destroyed.
I didn't have normal parents but I try to live a quiet, ordinary life. I read, garden and watch old movies. We don't have drama in our home - I saw enough when I was growing up.
The problem is not "having kids" but being prepared to be RESPONSIBLE parents and teach your kids to work hard and not believe that everything belong to them or is due!
I've never liked Elliot Gould..... "The trials of all those involved in the crime took over a decade to complete. Stewart Woodman was convicted in 1990. According to family members, Stewart Woodman succumbed to diabetes while still in prison on October 5, 2014, just after Yom Kippur (29 years after the murders). Neil Woodman was convicted in 1996. Robert Homick was sentenced to life without parole. Steven Homick, who also had another murder conviction in Nevada, was sentenced to death in January 1995. He remained on death row at San Quentin State Prison in California for almost twenty years. On November 5, 2014, he died of natural causes in a nearby hospital"
good advice gambling is worse than drugs, I have known people who gamble ruin their whole life. loose job home etc and still they gamble that is why I do not do it.
This was a really good movie! Watched it all, both parts 1 and 2. This is so typical of how certain people (narcissist-selfish-self centered- egotistical greedy creeps) ruin their entire families lives forever and still only think of themselves the whole time. Usually, it's through cheating, lying, etc. but, the very same people will often go just as far as this to commit murder, as well. Sadly, I have known a couple of men like that in my life time. But for the grace of God that I lived through them, too. And there are a lot more people out there like that than most would ever even guess there is. Be very careful. Some like these here could even be married to you for years before their worse shows to you in full force! Hint: The majority of them are habitual cheaters and liars, too. Thanks so much for sharing.
That is true. Was with my husband for 30 years. It wansnt until the end I realized he was a habitual liar. He would look me in the eye and lie....wouldn't flinch while he did it. Amazing.
If I was the mom, I'd slap the shit outta that girl for being so damn disrespectful. can't she she the mom is trying her best to help the family survive? The apartment they moved into was supposed to be a dump. No it's not. It's really nice! Very big, light fixtures on the wall, hallways, spacious living room. I never lived an apartment that nice.
I can relate. I put my clothes on consignment and used the money to buy a sweat suit and business clothes in WalMart. It all felt so desperate and the all time worst at the time. But things can get much much worse.
@@rabthecab To take them to a store that sells used clothing and gives the owner of the clothing a percentage of the sale. That is selling on consignment.
Lesson: Have your own bank account if husband doesn't want a joint account. If your husband doesn't want that, Bye Felicia. All a form of control. This is supposed to be a union. You marry rich, good luck. Better have some skills. And raise your kids to have responsibilities and respect - outside of idolizing money and holding out their hands. Neither of the older ones has any respect for her. Shameful.
Strong enough to be a good mom only up to the point where she commits adultery. I would never call her a good woman nor a strong woman when she can't keep her legs closed while she's still married.
@Mara Ranian, he was a godsend. If not for the job she would be homeless with her kids. She needed $$ for rent after she lost the house. She used and needed him through her troubles with JC, the cops, company, etc. She was a user don't think he was... gave her space when she wanted. Weekend getaway was her idea used her mom as a sitter so she took advantage of his kindness and paid him back by yelling over missing work. She will always be a victim poor me. Very good whiner, even her friend tried but she was jealous of her being rich and pushed her away for no reason.
Ella Mone , You're very right . Women like that know how to use men and which men to go for. She did not stand on her own feet. Ben gave her a job , I bet he paid her much more than she should be earning to help her out . She probably dumped Ben because she met a rich man , whilst working in Ben's expensive restaurant . Or a rich divorcee from her old circle. The rich are always divorcing and re-marrying . It was really nice if her friend to give her money from her private account and Melody didn't appreciate that!
Her job didn't require spreading her legs. She did that because she lacks a certain moral fiber! Anyone excusing her behavior for whoring herself has to admit she either lacks moral fiber or she's incredibly weak emotionally. You can't call her a strong woman if she's so weak she spreads her legs for emotional support. She could've filed for divorce or at least told her husband she's laving the marriage and going to date others but stay with him for the sole purpose of helping him through his case.
It's almost like he's been playing her like a chess game, telling her every move to not make. But he was really bonkers telling her not to work and know she's struggling.
@@juliajoseph4468 yeah, but I believe the crimes it was based on were in the 80’s. I think it’s pretty obvious these are more early 90’s styles tho, I can see some 80’s vibes tho of course.
I don't know she stood being married that narcissistic husband of her. There would NOT be enough money in the world for me to put up with someone like him
GOSH, why couldn't this have been a mini-series? This is so good I had to re-watch, and then re-watch what I re-watched! If this was an entire year long it wouldn't be long enough!
Don't forget she's the one opening her legs to another man while married. She didn't have the decency to file for divorce or even inform her husband she's leaving the marriage.
Question. With assets frozen and wife with no money. Who paid the lawyers fee? It would be quite substantial being the trial went on for so long and he wasn't an appointed public defender.
Maybe this is trivial, but for a lot of people it is not....that apartment they downsized to would be a beautiful home that a lot of people can not even dream of living in...oh the absurdity of the spoilt and entitled. That poor mom was way too young when she chose to marry into that terrible family, but 19 is way too young to choose a spouse, poor woman....awful husband, spoilt children, just a bl@@dy mess.
Talk about a narcissist! The wife tells Stu that she needs to work in order to put a roof over the kids' heads, food, clothing...and he tells her he forbids it. Then a sentence later he says something like "what's happened to you?" Total narcissist! The words just flow out of his mouth without hesitation.
I'm surprised and mad that the daughter was blaming mom for there situation......I would of put her right and told her that the shit bag father caused it all.... I can honestly say he was like a big spiteful Spoilt child.....he played on his kids so they wouldn't hate him..... He never luved anyone but himself.......glad she got away from him. He deserved everything he got.....nothing but a bully boy.....also played on his health......a lot of it was false and put on...I've never seen anyone eat so much and other people's food too....yes I agree.... The apartment they move to was quite big and spacious....and it did look rather clean and nice....they should be grateful to have a roof over there heads....those kids attitude was boil down to him....mom had got no say......good film though......x
At the 36 minute mark when Stewie asks all those questions, the answer are all "yes". He thought he could do what he want and taught his children to be the same way.
Its chilly and overcast in southern pines nc today. Perfect day to enjoy 😉a good miniseries. If you are reading 📚 comments be blessed 🙌 and know that god loves you
Yeah diabetics do no last long in prison. They aren't fed enough.... False statements that prisoners get fed well. They do not. No matter what a human being has done, we as human beings have to be just. We can't fall into that kind of hate. Everyone has a story. I can't imagine killing one's parents. It's obvious, this guy was narcissistic as they come. He deserves what the judge ordered. However, there are people in prison who are innocent. Who have been wrongly accused. We live in an unfair society, for sure.
@@jazzysophie9943 He was about 70 years old. Diabetics are lucky to live that long, even outside of prison. Heart disease and stroke being more common among diabetics. Which is why I won't ever be seriously involved with a man who is diabetic. They usually die at younger ages than average, I think. If they take good care of themselves, they can live almost the average lifespan, but, I don't believe he was ever taking very good care of himself, BEFORE he went into prison.
who's paying for the attorney? murder trials cost hundreds of thousands. if you are in the leagues these people are supposed to be in you have $$ hidden in more than one place, for sure.
I think the kids were far too spoiled, and now that the money is gone they can't cope. Complaining about the pool being gross and having too clean it... please most people don't have pools to bitch about.
I dont feel bad for her; she married a loud mouth whiny man child just because he had money so that she can shop everyday and not have to lift a finger. She didnt have a job would it have hurt her to upgrade her education, save money for a rainy day instead of spending it on frivolous things. No one say you cant marry money but be smart about it cuz just as easy as it come it can go.
You are judging a person because she married a man of means? If that was who she was she could never taken the humiliation and rise above it as she did. She is to be admired in many ways.
It is truly sad how greed and power make people believe they can get away with anything. Acting was great and the story line compelling. Most pointedly to me was the lack of religious belief and practice in this family. The mom was the only one seeking advice from the religious rabbi. Thank you for sharing God bless
If Stuart had not had a gambling addiction, he would had a large savings for his family. Such a shame the wife was so sweet and passive and went along with all he wanted to do and not saving money. But, after all that's the kind of passive women a narcist will pick. No one else would put up with then.
The kids made Daddy sound such a fantastic man??? But when it comes down to it now hes incarcerated he doesn't give a toss about mom or the kids....He'sk a Me Me Me selfish ///////..
it seems to me that EVERYONE in this movie is creepy! the whole family, the lawyers, the restaurant guy, all her friends etc. i've seen people crater before and this is pretty close to real
Love 80's Lifetime movies, it's a shame how greed plays a part in killing someone. They had enough money and their kids were only doing what they were taught by their parents, parents mold their children for the future becareful parents how you raise your kids because they only follow behind you and, you might not like the results. Just look around God (Jesus) has been taken out of schools, no discipline, no one takes responsibility for their actions and last when you take the Lord Jesus who is God out of the equation this world has asked for trouble... people can't go their own way thinking things will be fine because it won't be! Not without God, the world is falling and becoming divided.
Hope the kids got snapped out of their snottiness and went on to lead useful lives. It must have been really rough for them so I hope the hard lessons had a positive longer term effect for them.
I wished she just divorced that jerk and stay with Ben, he was very kind to her and was the opposite of what Stewart was, of course Her kids wouldn't accept him.
Good grief! The wife is trying to survive with 3 young children and Stuart is complaining about her not visiting him. What a self centered jerk.

Elliot Gould gave a big kiss on the lips to the actor who played his youngest son in one of the prison scenes . That's a pervert !
Always take a long close look at your future partner - if they have addictions - get ready or get out!

Problem is,if addiction comes way ahead after marriage as money comes in.

The addiction sets a life's prioities ..Go to any open meeting AA--NA or GA meeting and listen for an hour or -

I'm surprised and mad that the daughter was blaming mom for there situation......I would of put her right and told her that the shit bag
father caused it all....
I can honestly say he was like a big spiteful
Spoilt child.....he played on his kids so they wouldn't hate him.....
He never luved anyone but himself.......glad she got away from him.
He deserved everything he got.....nothing but a bully boy.....also played on his health......a lot of it was false and put on...I've never seen anyone eat so much and other people's food too....yes I agree....
The apartment they move to was quite big and spacious....and it did look rather clean and nice....they should be grateful to have a roof over there heads....those kids attitude was boil down to him....mom had got
no say......good film though......x
At the 36 minute mark when Stewie asks all those questions, the answer are all "yes". He thought he could do what he want and taught his children to be the same way.
Enjoyed the movie.it was nice to see Clancy Brown in a different type of role than he usually plays!
Its chilly and overcast in southern pines nc today. Perfect day to enjoy 😉a good miniseries. If you are reading 📚 comments be blessed 🙌 and know that god loves you
The duagther as been giving me the worse pressure in my head.
Stuart done 29 years and died in October 1014 of diabetes. Neil got 25 to life - I believe.
he aint getting out
Yeah diabetics do no last long in prison. They aren't fed enough.... False statements that prisoners get fed well. They do not. No matter what a human being has done, we as human beings have to be just. We can't fall into that kind of hate. Everyone has a story. I can't imagine killing one's parents. It's obvious, this guy was narcissistic as they come. He deserves what the judge ordered. However, there are people in prison who are innocent. Who have been wrongly accused. We live in an unfair society, for sure.
TM he lasted 29 years
@@jazzysophie9943 He was about 70 years old. Diabetics are lucky to live that long, even outside of prison. Heart disease and stroke being more common among diabetics. Which is why I won't ever be seriously involved with a man who is diabetic. They usually die at younger ages than average, I think. If they take good care of themselves, they can live almost the average lifespan, but, I don't believe he was ever taking very good care of himself, BEFORE he went into prison.
what a great story for women to see
who's paying for the attorney? murder trials cost hundreds of thousands. if you are in the leagues these people are supposed to be in you have $$ hidden in more than one place, for sure.
Good point
Accounts get frozen but they will pay for legal fees I believe
I love Clancy Brown in this movie. He is such romantically and gently man. Woow !!! :) :*
You know he played the villain in other movies.
Right. First time seeing him act sweet
I think the kids were far too spoiled, and now that the money is gone they can't cope.
Complaining about the pool being gross and having too clean it... please most people don't have pools to bitch about.
And not everyone has house maids to clean up after them. They are spoiled and lazy.
Thanks for the upload
Powerful and very good movie. I thoroughly enjoyed the showing! I agreed with the ending.
I dont feel bad for her; she married a loud mouth whiny man child just because he had money so that she can shop everyday and not have to lift a finger. She didnt have a job would it have hurt her to upgrade her education, save money for a rainy day instead of spending it on frivolous things. No one say you cant marry money but be smart about it cuz just as easy as it come it can go.
You are judging a person because she married a man of means?
If that was who she was she could never taken the humiliation and rise above it as she did.
She is to be admired in many ways.
THIS WAS A VERY SAD SHOW.....JUST A FAMILY OF PEOPLE TRYING TO LIVE LIFE WITHOUT CHRIST...AND MAKING A WRECK OF THEMSELVES AND OTHERS...
Maybe after the end, they will bring Him into their lives.
It is truly sad how greed and power make people believe they can get away with anything. Acting was great and the story line compelling. Most pointedly to me was the lack of religious belief and practice in this family. The mom was the only one seeking advice from the religious rabbi.
Thank you for sharing
God bless
If Stuart had not had a gambling addiction, he would had a large savings for his family. Such a shame the wife was so sweet and passive and went along with all he wanted to do and not saving money. But, after all that's the kind of passive women a narcist will pick. No one else would put up with then.
The kids apparently turned out good. They are married with kids and grandchildren! B.H. I hope Melody could still have a good life after that.
How do you know?
@@sha11235google search from stu's obituary
Wow I just love these old old mov
the lady thats plays mom/ grandma, played on little house on the prairie, thought children werent allowed in the court room.
Stupid decisions of the father…….we reap what we sow as the Bible says. His mistakes made all his family to suffer along which is tragic and sad.
Elliott Gould is an A-list actor, and this movie proves such
After all she's been through some good ole fashion lovin is what the Dr ordered 🤗
3:30
I thought he was giving her 30 days to pay.
Lol
No, unfortunately 30 days to move out, or she could have maybe sold it in 30 days.
@@daringmore6892 right quick sale!
Glad I found this movie
good movie.
The kids made Daddy sound such a fantastic man???
But when it comes down to it now hes incarcerated he doesn't give a toss about mom or the kids....He'sk a Me Me Me selfish ///////..
Thank you for the movie
Mimi must be so glad she divorced Tom!
She was the one who got him into Scientology! Her father was high up in the organization.
"I was told to be here at 10:30"
"So was everybody else" :>
Good story, good acting by all.
excellent movie! thanks for the upload...
it seems to me that EVERYONE in this movie is creepy! the whole family, the lawyers, the restaurant guy, all her friends etc. i've seen people crater before and this is pretty close to real
Good movie, enjoyed it
Love 80's Lifetime movies, it's a shame how greed plays a part in killing someone. They had enough money and their kids were only doing what they were taught by their parents, parents mold their children for the future becareful parents how you raise your kids because they only follow behind you and, you might not like the results.
Just look around God (Jesus) has been taken out of schools, no discipline, no one takes responsibility for their actions and last when you take the Lord Jesus who is God out of the equation this world has asked for trouble... people can't go their own way thinking things will be fine because it won't be!
Not without God, the world is falling and becoming divided.
Except, this movie miniseries was aired on NBC.
Hope the kids got snapped out of their snottiness and went on to lead useful lives. It must have been really rough for them so I hope the hard lessons had a positive longer term effect for them.
A great 80s movie. Mimi Rogers was always a class act. Another one that was married to that looney, Tom Cruise. 😲
It was 1993.
I wished she just divorced that jerk and stay with Ben, he was very kind to her and was the opposite of what Stewart was, of course Her kids wouldn't accept him.
