Silent Witness (1985 TV Movie)
7/10
Keep watching Valerie Bertinelli. She is riveting

Warning: Spoilers
Keep watching this film for Valerie Bertinelli as Anna the wife of Kevin who stumble into a bar as his brother and friends rape a young woman.

The most haunting scene of the movie is the initial ending to the rape scene which has a slow fade / dissolve into Anna and husband driving home in their car. Over this fade you hear the screams of Patti and it's just so haunting that in reading this film review here my memory jumps to the scene when I first watched this movie back in 1985 when it was brand new. I don't know where or how the movie went in the editing room, but it was a well made film.

I did not mind the jumps that the director made so much I just kept focused on Ms Bertinelli and her acting. She shone throughout the whole movie and made it worthwhile.

Having said that I am not a huge fan of these kind of movies but in this case would / might consider an exception if it ever came onto DVD format. All in all a great movie and I gave it a 7/10...
