I enjoyed this. It's quite straightforward but with just enough suspense to make it interesting. Cloris Leachman looks pretty with her long hair and '70s dresses.
Thanks for the upload. This movie was gossiped about over coffee and tea or afternoon cocktails by bored suburban housewives as if it were a documentary when it came out. An opener for social discourse.
I agree with all who liked this film . It is not a waste of time at all . The acting is good as is the storyline. Cloris Leachman is one of the most underrated actresses and she is very good here . If you are a fan of film nor as I am , watch her performance in Robert Aldrich's 1955 classic Kiss Me Deadly . Then you will see a tour de force !
I’m confused - why would the husband be on trial? He has an alibi. He was dead drunk sitting at a bar and was actually brought home by a police officer. Apparently, there’s no evidence as well. I know it’s a movie, but come on.
Why didn’t they bring up the fact that he was bought home by the policeman? He would have recorded the time , and patrons in the bar were witnesses ! Also the jury is usually kept in secure hotels while the trial is ongoing until the verdict ….
Exactly the reasons why this movie was so poorly scripted. I cannot for the life of me understand why so many people missed what was so obvious right from the beginning of the movie.
The casting of Laurence Luckinbill must be said to be a stroke of luck for this TV suspence movie. Luckinbill is just perfect in the role of a psychopathic killer who can talk his way out of any stressful situation. Nick Nolte shows in this movie a more subdued side of his acting skills, which nevertheless evokes empathy during his statements in the courtroom. After the movie I was left with a great experience.
Thank you. I shall watch. Good cast. Laurence Luckinbill is married to Lucie Arnaz (for those who didn't know) for 45 yrs. They have 3 children together. He's now 90, Lucie is 73 now.💓🎭💓
Husband: Darling, there's a thousand reasons why your theories don't add up. Wife: And only one reason you're gaslighting and not completely gobsmacked that I've accused you of murder! Husband: I'm good. It's water under the bridge. Let's go to bed. Wife: Okay darling. 🙄
Wow what a good movie. Women now days are educated to not confront anyone who may be abusive to them. Even if you think they won’t hurt you, they can turn on a dime. A lot of people have mental issues that are brought out in the open when they are confronted. It’s best to be where you are protected.
1. John had a perfect alibi - he was in the bar all night. Why it never came up during the trial? 2. Thunder does not occur at the same time as lightning.
@sjefhendrickx2257 There used to be a time where the actors would be able to deliver three times as many lines for every one line they deliver today. Scripts were more challenging for actors and the stories more engaging to watch. They'd probably consider today's actors overpaid celebs.
The *synopsis in description gives framework for film.* Maybe best to read it twenty minutes in 20:00 *GOOD FILM.* Nick Nolte is untypically understated. 🤠
We all have eternal life. The question is where will you spend it. Jesus died on the cross for you. He who hears my word (JESUS) and believes in Him (GOD) who sent me will have eternal life! He will not be condemned, he has crossed over from death to life. John 5:24
Best alibi a person could have. This whole movie is totally flawed. Enjoying the acting though. Best Nolte movie was 48Hrs. Easiest gig Nick ever got, not a lot of lines to remember.
@@Theaddora Also, the way he often referred to her as 'Angel' was similar to what the accused man had heard his deceased wife mention when she was ill before the baby's birth: She was hoping for someone to call her 'Angel' again.
Quite a few flaws, poor script. Nick Nolte would have had an alibi, the coroner would have been able to determine that at the time of the murder he was drinking and also why would the murderer leave the scarf he committed the murder with at the scene of the murder? and it was not Nolte's scarf. Nick Nolte's lawyer was a brilliant actor. And Nick Nolte did very well, you could see he was going to become a big star.
Nick Nolte was also an alcoholic. He was notorious for showing up at the country club drunk and taking tips off surrounding tables to pay for his coffee instead of signing for it on his father-in-laws tab. Waitresses were forced to allow the rinse and repeat without complaint or compensation.
What's your favorite Nick Nolte movie? Down And Out In Beverly Hills for me :)

A very suspenseful movie Thank you,for showing it.

She looks just my mom did at the time. It brings back of nostalgia!

It's an interesting plot and thanks for the synopsis. I only watch movies that have synopsis.
Wow what an end! They dont make movies like this anymore, that quality has been lost 💯👍
A great story & well paced production. I enjoyed this movie immensely.
Thank you, Stream City.🎥

*Thank you.*
She should have waited until he went home. Call the wife at another time. Better yet leave the guy he's worthless.
Fabulous scoring by
Laurence Rosenthal. One of my favorite movie soundtracks of the mid-70s.
Great movie the movies of the 70 are the best thanks

@@Lynoreprice Because they assumed he killed her and afterwards went to the bar to get drunk.
Unfortunately lazy police work. So many people end up in prison for a crime they didn’t commit
I don't understand why the husband/his lawyer did not say that the scarf that killed his wife wasn't his scarf.
Exactly, where was the police officer? And the time? Stupid.
Very true! I thought that too after he was in the courtroom. Why didn't they ask the bartender what time he was there?

Thanks for the upload great movie
a fave tv movie, Ive watched it a few times and still enjoy it.
It is the first time
I am seeing
this movie
Great movie, realistic, can't run away from the truth🎉
Love Cloris. And Nolte is amazing at that age.
1. John had a perfect alibi - he was in the bar all night. Why it never came up during the trial?
2. Thunder does not occur at the same time as lightning.
@@maciekszymanski83402. it depends on the distance you are from the storm. Because light and sound don't travel at the same speed.
Back in the time when the US had real actors. This is acting!
The usa had real actors??? Wow!
@@sjefhendrickx2257 I think so. Most of the good actors begun in theatre.

Good show.
Never seen this before, but when she was being strangled, I saw Scott Peterson.

*GOOD FILM.*
Nick Nolte is untypically understated. 🤠
very good
THE FINAL COUNTDOWN
Fantastic movie!
Starring Kirk Douglas!
Great movie! Love Cloris Leachman ❤ Have to love Aunt Clara when she leaves Mayberry from time to time 😅
Guess I will go home an accuse my suspected husband of murder alone. Um no
*Me neither!* Not if he's killed once already. Of course, she does have to ask. Put her mind at rest. Am talking 47:00
Great movie!!
Woww. Excellent!
Would have been better without the spoiler in the description. At least change it to, she discovers she knows who the REAL murderer is. C'mon people!
Wow...the husband is a sociopathic narcissist...
Vamos a verla por primera vez.
Gracias.
Lol My first time 2 ! N I?m amazed it is my first time c n this movie! Lmao!
White high heels in a thunderstorm. That's not believable.
For that day in age it was for a bougie housewife.

What does your comment have to do with the movie?...
Does Nick Nolte play someone named Jesus?
P l e a s e. Don’t bring religion into it!

The american justice system is very odd
And unfair
I kept falling asleep
Cloris Leachman is a awesome Actress 1
Best alibi a person could have. This whole movie is totally flawed. Enjoying the acting though. Best Nolte movie was 48Hrs. Easiest gig Nick ever got, not a lot of lines to remember.
Great movies thanks 🇦🇺🦘
Excellent
Why would Cloris suspect her husband of the murder? He seems to be a very nice and attentive husband. This movie is very weird.
@@Theaddora
She recognized the scarf that killed the victim and the made of the car that the witness described.
@leanderrowe2800 I forgot about the scarf. Guess I wasn't concentrating. Thanks
@@Theaddora
Also, the way he often referred to her as 'Angel' was similar to what the accused man had heard his deceased wife mention when she was ill before the baby's birth: She was hoping for someone to call her 'Angel' again.

Nick Nolte's lawyer was a brilliant actor. And Nick Nolte did very well, you could see he was going to become a big star.
In context drunken lower middle class got railroaded back in the day. Classism got people convicted on very little to no evidence.
Nick Nolte was also an alcoholic. He was notorious for showing up at the country club drunk and taking tips off surrounding tables to pay for his coffee instead of signing for it on his father-in-laws tab. Waitresses were forced to allow the rinse and repeat without complaint or compensation.
Good movie
🤫🥰😍🤩👌!
A little bit Hitchcock at the end I thought !
Weak plot. Great scting but lots of holes in this film. Also overdramatic at the end
The screaming was a bet annoying
By less than 3 min in ,her voice as she whines screaming at him is too much. Done watching.
I missed intro as movong around the house. I *started* around 8:00
.
Is that Sybok ?
3 plus minutes and I had enough min. wasted
Am glad to say
I *started* around 8:00
.
Good movie.
Wow...the husband is a sociopathic narcissist...
