*Contains Spoilers* I have been a collector of Cheryl Ladd's films for a while now and was pleased to find this on two tapes, Parts 1 and 2, hour and a half each.
It certainly held my interest throughout. But Cheryl's character, Hope, seems too easily manipulated into lying for and protecting the man, Jordan Williams (Sam Elliott), who killed her husband and raped her.
This is not Cheryl at her best, but she does as good a job as possible with the character. At first I thought Part 1 ("The Crime") would be more interesting than Part 2 ("The Trial"). But I found part 2 much more intriguing, however far fetched it seems that Mr Williams could act as his own attourney in a case like that!
The ending doesn't seem satisfactory. Hope visits Jordan in prison, with no dialogue and you wonder why? Did she indeed know him before he killed her husband and raped her? Who knows?
