Featured review
Netflix lists this film as 'Victim of Beauty.'
This is one of the better made-for-TV films based on a true story. William Devane is always convincing as either a good guy or a bad one. He does a great job playing the former, town Sheriff, in this one. I also want to add that I've heard from several people that have worked on films with Devane that he is a really nice guy in person as well (just a note).
Netflix has this film in it's database right now and it's listed as 'Victim of Beauty.' I have no idea why names for TV films are so interchanged, but it's irritating. Also, for some strange reason, they have Sally Kellerman on the cover image, who isn't even cast in the film.
The movie is pretty entertaining. As with most films of this nature, some details have been changed, but nothing that compromises the story.
If the real story interests you, you can find some harrowing commentary from the search participants on the web.
Thank you.
