The story revolves around Kathy, an assistant D.A., Richard, her lover, who is also the chief medical examiner, and Dr. Highley. Kathy's investigating the supposed suicide of a woman. It seems that she has been going to Dr. Highley for some kind of treatments but when side effects begin to surface, she plans to see another doctor but Dr. Highley kills her before she does. Presently, Kathy's working under the assumption that the woman's husband was the one who killed her, and Dr. Highley also wants to see her to treat her for some injuries she sustained in a car accident. When in reality Dr. Highley suspects that she may have seen him on the night he killed the woman, because she was in the hospital but on medication therefore not certain of what she saw.
These movies are amazing on cloudy days and junk food especially when it’s cold out and rainy ❤
Watching all these lovely movies from 70ties and 80ties I'm very happy and grateful that there are some who spend so much time and energy it takes to upload all these gold grains of film to all of us
I'm just a little interested in whether the younger generation also watches this type of movie,,,
I'm 59 YEARS OLD, HOW OLD ARE YOU

41. I’ve been enjoying going back and trying to watch stuff I couldn’t have watched or appreciated back in the day. As an 80s baby there are sooo many different things to check out! Most beat anything now a days.

I love Mary Higgins Clark's books; movies based on them are just icing on the cake. They're perfect on a cozy fall evening.
June 7th 2020-an extraordinary movie. Brilliant storyline and superb cast. I totally enjoyed it. Watching and appreciative from Fiji. Movies of the 70's to 80's rock.
My oldest daughter (now 30) was born June 7,1994. I never knew there was a movie June 7, 2020. Even tho the year is off, I’ve cone to realize that soaring bizarre happens every year on her bday, so I find that movie was made with that particular date, I am going to have to watch it.
I was born in 1983, the year when this film was first released. It's amazing how people were ironically more connected to each other in terms of face to face conversations back then despite not having the Internet-based World Wide Web, as opposed to today in which people's faces (particularly those of the members of my Millennial generation and the younger Generation Z) are practically glued to our computer and cell phone screens lol
Of course people were more connected face to face before cell phones. One could say people stopped writing letters to each other because they all had household phones. Or people email each other rather than use their landlines.
Technology is a blessing and a curse. Instincts are being replaced with robotics. The less we exercise our instincts the less we’re connected to humans. Results , rely on computers/technology. Kinda scary
I agree with you. People are more disconnected than ever. I miss the days when people would look me in the eyes and say "Good morning", or "Have a good day." Now I'm lucky to get a glance in between their social media status updates.
The Internet is a blessing when you have friends and family all over the world.
Hi 👋 Yes we were more connected to one another and had respect too which is sadly lacking in today's Society! I was born in 1957...Loved the 1980s and 90s too the best period of my life!❤❤
I like 80s movies. It is more raw and natural. No fancy wancy effects.
I agree🤗
I agree, too, so much better.
Agreed
Fancy wancy that’s too funny
TOTALLY AND THE SPECIAL EFFECTS WERE HANDMAID FOR THE MOST PART
All the great 80s actors and actresses. I love and miss the 80s.
I wonder if those complaining about the quality realize that they used a VCR to record of their TV because well that's what you did back in the day. These movies won't be theater quality,tvs were a lot different then
They just want something to complain about. The quality is nostalgic, and that makes it even better in my opinion.💖
Kai'la Taylorr Exactly And we definitely have watched a lot of shows back then that were not of great quality because we recorded our favorite shows from vhs 📼 or our favorite song on cassette tape ha ha ha awww the good ole days 💗
And to get better reception I was the official family antenna turner while my dad called out "left, right, ok! Stop right there"....memories.
That should go without saying
@@MrsTSHill Exactly, more authentic :)
I really do like Medical Thrillers -- they are so much fun! "Coma" is my favorite, but there are quite a few good ones: "Donor ('90)", "Mortal Fear", "Terminal ('96)", "Outbreak", "Acceptable Risk", "Virus ('95)", "Pandora''s Clock", and "The Andromeda Strain ('71)".
Thanks again for posting.
Thanks for that list. 😊
I've never ceased to be amazed by people who say that they are too busy to to go in for a medical intervention . It's like saying that I'm too busy to die . Doctors and medical personnel involved in homicide though not commonplace is very terrifying to contemplate for a helpless patient .
I’m betting that soon enough you’ll need not worry about that again ( or anything whatsoever besides), because what’s happening in present times will most certainly affect all of Us; as well: future generations from even being alive anymore. Sad but true and sounds like such an unbelievable conspiracy theory that nobody’s ever gonna be prepared for rolling blackouts; no food available; paper money becoming obsolete which’s why it’s now easier than ever to get a credit card in the mail; even if we haven’t asked for it; The only reason why they’re waiting for total devastation is due to their coming out with a super virus called Xanadu and can’t develop it in the Wu Han labs like they had before the pandemic of 2019 which was just a little test to see how the average person would handle that. The term liberalism isn’t what we once knew it to be inside of the government whether it’s the Republicans or a Democratic Party planning these things alongside # 15 globalists who remain unknown until one realizes the biggest corporations like Biden’s administration giving Ukraine another $185 Billion dollars and has the audacity of telling Us $75 billion going towards Earth Day last week and the rest of it being spread out amongst the other nations instead of helping Us; his own citizens who’ve been thrown into the street to make room for some more illegals coming straight through the border as simultaneously helping the crime rate skyrocket! I was a registered Democrat until I learned of this plan by seeing footage from January 6,2020 and it being a complete set up to jail the folk’s whole peaceful protest 🪧 although they were all escorted by the security guards into the Capitol building. I’ve seen this happen in real time with no evidence of tampering. They’ve found 17 senators dressed in MAGA hats and shirts whose ploy to deceive people who believed they were only the right wing groups will never get their day in court and some of them were left behind to rot in a cell from 2020- present day (3 of them remain in the jail cells just like they did with Julian Asange when he tried to report it appeared that government information had been leaked onto his own website and they were at his residence within minutes putting his hands behind his back and arresting him on the spot for terrorist activity! He is presently being held without a snowballs chance of ever getting out of prison in 🇬🇧 since he has every single piece of evidence against the government. Hillary did purportedly destroy those documents including embarrassing files that would hang the both of them for the murders of Vince Foster which was never investigated and was subsequently buried along with Foster himself. Christopher Steele as a double agent and spied on Donald J. Trump’s computer, office and the entire family itself like it or not. I’m writing this because every time I try to even make people understand what I’m privy to myself and spread the truth to all citizens who should know what they have planned for us, it either doesn’t send the message in which I get the word “Error, Try Again?” Or it sends so far fetched that most Americans do nothing to acknowledge my findings and refuse to do their own research like I do on a regular basis without fail; cuz they ARE trying to get rid of any people who they’ve deemed unfit to live as witnessed in the latest novel by Klauss Schwabb- The Setback in which he’s cited both Adolf Hitler and Mao Tse Tung as well; saying the problem with these tyrant’s plan is that they didn’t go far enough in eliminating their own citizens and the ingredients added to their 🇨🇳 water supply to make the women barren, the men impotent so nobody can procreate against the government’s wishes. Recently the author of The Power Of The Dog ( about our own n government and their dealings with the cartels behind bringing drugs into our country destroying all of people’s lives it’s touched was strongly encouraged to take back what he’s said in his book telling everybody who’s familiar with this novel that he lied about what he witnessed back some 40+ years later!? I’m sorry but this makes no sense at all and either he or his family was threatened by the government whom have control of mainstream media outlets and pay them to lie to our faces under this same tactic which is why instead of hearing that Trump’s won every state he’s campaigning for as I’m writing this, but unless it’s a negative spin? We’re not hearing about any of his winning are we.? I hope he gets into office that he rightfully won and Biden was down by 43%; yet won in less than a 46 hour period in a swing state that abhored him? C’mon now, I mean.. I’m not his biggest fan but I do know that if he won he wouldn’t get past the White House steps; let alone he would be in mortal danger ‼️ Listen . Biden’s been gonzo for awhile now with his dementia becoming obvious more and more each time he opens his mouth and they will recognize it and put him into an assisted living facility instead of a prison where he and Hunter paying off Zelenskyy to keep their oil fields a secret while the rest of us suffer and it’s just going to get worse until they crash our economy; pushing electric cars nobody will be able to afford at $50k to start; unleashing another pandemic according to Bill Gates in the Fall sometime in the near future; give up anything to defend yourself from terrorist attacks coming from his opening up the borders and letting millions of illegals into your country folks! And mark my words that it’s been Obama who is pulling the strings from the very first time Joe Biden was showing signs of early onset Alzheimer’s disease back in October 2020; after the alleged storming the Capitol building even if they were set up by the president knowing full well they were mostly Trump supporters who were just going there. And the trap was set 🪤 If they let the only one who can possibly save us all from the enemies/ allies whom we’ve never been certain are just that all of our military equipment; missles and weapons of mass destruction. Now tell me. Why would they do that as well: trying to take away our right to bare arms; grow food because of China’s buying up the midwesterner’s farmlands since 2021-22; directly against our own people from ownership of our fields which produces wheat, fruits and vegetables, but luckily none are interested and most knew what they were intentionally trying to pull. Trump’s the winner and it will not matter if he’s shot to death and then Michelle Obama’s going to run and everybody will vote her in cuz she’s loved by the world and not corrupt whatsoever, right..? Yeah. Just like she’s never been Barack’s old Army buddy who turned into his wife now and I know exactly what you’re thinking of this post and I appreciate it if you are still reading it! Do Me a favour please 🙏🏻 and Google:US.GOV and find out what’s been going on right underneath your very nose. I swear to God this is going to be their Hail Mary pass 🏈 Michelle can tell you she’s not interested in running and she’s probably not.. unless Trump wins somehow without being assassinated just like they’ve done with JFK, RFK + MLK then they pay some foreigners off and tell them they will funnel money into a Swiss bank account
We didn't have a lot of paid leave etc as a safety net. Totally different times.
My mother and I watched this movie together when it was on. Thank you for posting a classic movie. Miss watching Guiding Light!
Young Lauren Hutton certainly is a vision of beauty & grace. Thank you for sharing this video.
I've been looking for years to see this movie once more! THANKYOU THANKYOU for posting and in it's entire length without interuptions YIPPIE! :)
Yay for Mary Higgins Clark! She was a classic ...
Guess I am old but i like the older movies, books, professionals, customer service, consumer prices, human kindness, politicians etc sooo much better yesterday! My elders always spoke about how much better the " good old days" were and as a child, i had no idea what they meant. Sadly i now know! As the human race eroded to the extent it seems?
Yes, people didn't say " I was like" , he" was like" and" I went - nooo!" etc.
It sounds, as if some of us have regressed.
Cars are better now though.🤷♀️😆
Wonderful to see the fabulous Lauren Hutton again... She is so beautiful and so underrated.
I don't think most of the people we keep calling underrated really are. She's rated highly, just about right IMO, like most. I've even read comments moaning that Rod Serling was underrated. How highly rated do they want him? How would he like knowing they thought of him as overlooked, brilliant in actuality but strictly second class in our memories?
@@Carly8Corday people say "underrated" without thinking... they see people say it all the time, so they just say it. I really think that's 99% of "underrrated" comments.
This is funny. I began to recognize names of characters- Ross Marler and Bert Bauer, only because my mother and grandmother watched a soap opera that had these characters. I assume these are the same characters?
Anyhow, a well done and thrilling movie. Thank you.
Guiding Light was the soap opera 😊
The lady forgets is the next one im gonna see. It stars Donna Mills, such a gorgeous woman! Mama and i were addicted to Knots Landing. Every thursday nite without fail. I miss mama so and now and then i youtube the theme song of Knots Landing and sit here with unstoppable tears streaming down my face
Omg I looooove the Guiding Light incorporation! My favorite soap when I was little!!! Ross, the 2nd Dr. Bauer, the 2nd Holly Bauer and Bert Bauer!
Hope Bauer........... that was the Hope Bauer character in this movie.
I'm a sleep watcher. And every time I woke up I was still on point with what's going on.
How's that even possible?😂
But I fall asleep during watching films too and the films get often incorporated into my dreams. 😂
I have read several of her books, including this one, and this one I always thought was the most terrifying one of them all. This movie showed almost exactly what I pictured when I read the book. I haven't read any of her books for 5 years now, but I still have a large pile of them to read. Very good author and very good movie!!
Thank you so much for uploading this movie. I do appreciate it. I really enjoyed seeing this again.
It’s cool that a number of “Guiding Light” stars from the 80’s are in this playing their characters.
when it first came on tv it was advertised as a "guiding light" movie
@@lisabradford8180 i feel it could have been a " pilot " for guiding light
Are they Guiding Light characters?
Yes many of them are.
@@dfangirl72 Guiding Light was on for decades before this movie.
I have looked AAAAALL over this movie . I can't believe I finally found it. I LOVE the book so much, and I had to read it several times while waiting for the movie!
These old movies are the BEST. Hands down
agreed..there's something about vintage horror that todays horror just cannot duplicate. Im thinking of Hammer films in particular as well...
Spot on. Now your talking.
These films are as classic blurry or not as an old brogue or even a Chateau Lafite. I prefer a Stella miself!!!!
Love Mary Higgins Clark work awesome flick in the 80s many thanks❤😘
Thank you for this. I had heard about this before as I was a fan of Guiding Light for many years. I had never seen it, however. I stumbled on to this when the updated version of the movie, sans any soap opera folks, was on Lifetime Pik a Flik tonight. I looked it up and realized it was the same movie. Her daughter is in the Lifetime movie (Mary Higgins Clark's daughter) and I saw a credit for her in this 1983 movie as well. Can't wait to watch this!
I remember when this aired (promos and such), but don't recall watching it. What's interesting is that the many of the background underscore themes heard here sound familiar--as though they were also used on "Guiding Light" around that time. Another great way to make fans of the soap feel "comfortable" and in a familiar setting. CBS (all soaps, really) should have been doing this occasionally over the years to draw more viewers. Too late now--especially for the late, once great "Guiding Light."
Ohhh I did read this book, it was the moccasin slippers that jarred my memory....mainly because my feet puffed up to when I was pregnant 😳
Good choice of movies!! More mary higgins clark please
YES
THANK YOU for uploading this! I used to be a big fan of GL, especially late 70s early 80s. Ah, the memories!!
Meatpies TV: I like your picture and home channel photo.
Brings back memories.
Nothing like real Salisbury Steak TV dinners, particulary on trays in front of the TV!
One the 80's best TV Movies!
I would agree but sat the 70s-90s...
@@brotherchrisrco1125 but sat?
I suspected him from the beginning , very good movie , thanks for the upload
Great film thanks .
I'm an 83 baby too so had to check out this movie. Shout out to 1983 ❤
The title didn't match the story but I had fun watching the supermodel of my time, Lauren Hutton. Thank you for the movie!!
Omg I can't believe how young William H. Macy is in this film!
YOU ARE NOT A VICTIM YOU ARE THE MONSTER 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
OMG IF A SUNFLOWER IS NOT YELLOW WHAT CHESS PIECE WO7LD IT BE....?
Coincidence ... this movie takes place in Springfield? Guiding Light was also supposedly taken place in Springfield. Loved that soap. Was so sorry to see it go.
TRUE NORTH STRONG & FREE I know. Me too. I grew up on those soaps.
his nurse in this is now a judge on law and order quite frequently
Been looking formthis movie for quite sometime!thanks for uploading!m
Beautiful home. Scared already and needs a doctors care.
Thought I was watching an old episode of The Guiding Light! LoL
we want to see "Don't Be Afraid of the Dark"...I only saw it once back in the 70's and never forgot it
Don't expect to find that one on UA-cam anymore. There's been a remake, and so both versions are being aggressively kept off UA-cam, so you'll pay to see them. The original version of Don't Be Afraid of the Dark is a masterpiece, though!
Boo! hoo :-(
Hey Douglas & Bunny...I saw that movie in the theatre,& like you said Douglas..I certainly never forgot it! Think it was the scene in the small apt., where all the lights were out & the guy was stalking her very quietly...Gee! that was a long time ago!
The fridge door suddenly is pulled wide open--flooding the kitchen with what seemed at the time -- an extremely bright white light--A dark figure lunges for her----from the left,I believe,it was----because everyone in the theatre (As one entity)flung themselves to their right!
If you were, as my boyfriend and I were,towards the back...it was a phenominal sight! A few minutes later,one could hear chuckling coming from here & there as people began to understand what had just happened....I guess we all felt rather sheepish!
I did see it again a few yrs later on cable in Ottawa...it was still good But,I believe the best place to see it---would be--in a dark theatre,filled to the roof with patrons!!
I think that's a different movie...this was a made for tv movie on ABC in the early 70's about ghouls that live in a chimmney
I think the name of that was Wait Until Dark .. and yes it was so scary !!
I remember this movie. James Farentino was excellent. It was fun to see Lauren Hutton in this also.
I really appreciate the description. But I'm so confused by it. I'll just watch and figure it out lol.
Fantastic! Thanks for uploading
The actor playing the gynecologist has always given me the creeps.
The idea of being an gynaecologist , is itself creepy.
I have listened to Mary Higgins Clarks Audiobooks! They are very compelling! Love her movies too!
Trying to watch this movie, but this music is so dramatic it is giving me a headache...ha
Yes, the music is silly! It's a leftover from the silent film era, when the music had to tell the story, as we couldn't synchronise the video and audio.
120 years later, and we can't move on from this!
Good movie! Thank you!
Good movie.. Thanks
Very exciting film, thank you ....
A horror movie with a vision. Thanks a lot for sharing and a happy new year to you.
One of my favorite author. The male doctor eyes look so evil
Thank you very much!
I love your opening description, TVTERROR. Sounds like you summed up the whole movie there hahahaha
i fucking love the 80's did she pull out her lil phone book, that answering machine, the decor, the fashion 😍 😂 😍 😂
One big difference between the 70s and 80s and now is that we didn't use the F-word in every other sentence.
We are aloud to express these days to freedom of speech 80s movies great
Patsy Parkin if someone wants to express how there feeling freedom of speech unlike the 70s
I think we were smarter then that today, certainly spoke better English and didn't need fillers as in like, uh, um and F^&*.
You know on real note I'm not going to get into debate it's life sadly you just have to accept and move on it was nice seeing someone young making comment about great movie he obviously enjoyed simple .
ILike THE MOVIES THAT I HAVE WATCH SO FAR AND THEY ARE FREE THANKS
loved the book, cheers for uploading film, brilliant : - )
I read the book, but never saw the movie. Thanks!
You gave us some great stuff lately.
Old movie, people had to walk to answer their phones. Lol
This flick has me craving instant coffee.
Sanka
Caviar for me!
@@E-Kat With cream and sugar? Hee-hee!
I don't know what everyone's complaining about.
Love this movie. It’s very scary how someone in the medical field can be so evil as to put their experiments ahead of their patients lives. Good movie, a nail biter until the end. Thank you.
I loved Bert Bauer!
Lauren is so beautiful 😊💜🇦🇺
i think she's meh... too thin... and just not into her look. Though she is not unattractive at all... it's just that she doesn't do it for me.
James Farentino as a scary villain is topped by NO ONE.
I think this is a Mary Higgins-Clark book...I read it but never saw the movie. Hope it is as good as the book. Maybe I have the wrong Author...it was so in the 80s. :)
Very interesting movie👍
I'll watch anything with Ben Murphy in it.
I'm at 1:02:56 and still waiting for a plot to unfold. This is like watching a movie-length episode of a Soap Opera I'm unfamiliar with. I read Mary Higgins Clark in my 20s, along with Robin Cooke, Sidney Sheldon, and the rest who were churning out lots of paperbacks per year, and better ones like Anne Rice, Anya Seton, Janette Seymour, Lola Burford, Dean R. Koontz, Ira Levin, Frank Herbert, William Goldman, and many who've never been heard from again after just one book. The inexpensive escape kept me sane during my housebound years of raising small children. But I tried Clark years later and couldn't get past the second page, the book seemed so weak, childish, contrived, and dull. Sidney Sheldon to my shock and sadness affected me the same. Mary Higgins Clark has had gargantuan success, though. More than likely, it's just me. Watching THIS, I'm starting to see her as the E.L. James of women's suspense fiction, except that Fifty Shades the movie was great despite the book.
Dean Koontz and Ira Levin :D
😂😂😂
Read the book. Never seen the movie untill.... now good movie!!!
Absolutely loved the movie, thrills throughout and a great cast of actors and a captivating story with great production and direction!!! Gary Bailey KingofDarkness
Good one !!!
A very good movie. The music is so annoying
Yes, totally unnecessary!
They try to make everything so realistic, and then, a brass band starts following people around😂
How ridiculously backwards, but this is how it is. 😊
Wonderful! Thank you.
Good movie!!!👍👍
great movie thank you
Really like this one!
Been looking for the hand that Rock's the cradle....
Great movie-they don’t make stuff like this anymore
No, they certainly don't make them like this anymore. I miss these movies. They were really great.
Yes, they did. Watch French, South Korean, Chinese, and Japanese films to see what you are missing.
I can't believe I have read and watched the movie
Interesting to see a very young William H. Macy (Fargo, Blade Runner...).
+Bunny Biedenharn He doesn't look any younger in this movie than he does today.
I loved him in ER too. Here he is so very young.
When I saw his name in the opening credits, I was hooked!
And now currently Shameless
Well done. Suspense til end. Happy ending❤Villain discovered 👍 Very enjoyable watch.
I remember this movie. I was in my 30s then. The swollen legs brought it all back to me, but gonna rewatch
Question and now i will shut up? Do these old movies make u feel uplifted or nostalgically saddened? Its kinda mixed bag for me as i like them better but they also serve as a time tunnel for me that takes me back to an America i doubt we will see for generations to come
Great movie!
Thank you
The doctor has Thee creepiest eyes
I suppose, the poor actor is stuck with his creepy eyes!😂
always looking forward to the weekend relaxing watching these classic tv movies better than those in netflix or prime videos 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Based on the novel "The Cradle Will Fall" by the late Queen of Suspense Mary Higgins Clark.
Loved him as Dr Nick Toscanni in Dynasty.
I remember when I was a "housewife" stuck with 2 screaming kids, and I had to resort to watching soaps, to hear some adult conversation. I didn't even own a car. What a waste of life! Now they are far away, and don't give a damn what happens in my old age.
I agree with you 100℅
😂😂😂😂
Wow ! Maybe because you were a shit mother and they couldn’t wait to get away from you 🤔
Sorry to hear you were such a terrible mother.
When my children were little , it was the best time in my life!! I regreat having only four of them. But on the other hand, this world is such an awful place, so bringing four of them here was a selfish decision.
I love them unconditionally and I'd give anything to be able to have one day with them when they were little again.
Every day was just magical.
They were my whole purpose in life, and my darling husband of course.
Try to remember the good days, there must've been many. ❤
One thing that wasn't injoying about the movie s long ago.
When it was in court room..
Now so many true movies.. thriller s... you get hooked on them..
A great read and I hope a great film this book came out way back in 1980 I was looking for this and it's said 2004! I found on UA-cam and it says 1983! What?
@Julie Nichols ....far as I know the book did come out in 1980...then the movie was made of it in 1983 (this version) ..It seems they redid it in 2004 and also a France french version in 2015 lol...always loved this author and have a few of her books...
Nothing surprising or wrong with it. 😊
Is James Farentino really crazy? if not, he is a world class ACTOR!
Movies like these make me aware of just how influential V. C. Andrews was.
Kat
Mary Higgins Clark, not vc andrews
I'm nearly positive that Mary Higgins Clark was well-known already before V.C. Andrew ever wrote a book. She's not particularly influential, either. One theme, not a great one, plus she died and her books kept coming out ;o)
When you see true art and beauty, and no black actors dominated movie screen, you know it’s before 1990!
