No swearing no cell phones no computers no annoyances via technocracy, just a pure straight thriller oh my God how sweet it would be to find those days again, even though I was a kid I still know how it felt and I miss it
I spent about half an hour thinking "I've seen that husband before in something but what?". THEN it hit - he was the Assistant Police Commissioner in an episode of Columbo. GREAT!
Corrupt doctor murders for love, but it's a triple mystery, don't imagine that you know the verdict! Superb, the golden age of television, when it was an art form. Thank you, @ccc!
He did not murder for love. He killed her husband to marry her and get her money. He had faked her heart condition in her medical records for when he would kill her.
This movie is really good ... could have been a success as a big screen release. The first 15 minutes didn't grab me, but once it got going, I was glued to the set. Thanks for posting this!!!
I honestly didn't see the ending coming! Marvelous acting and actors. Reta Shaw is always a delight to see. I remember her from Disney's Pollyanna and the TV series The Ghost and Mrs. Muir. Most people remember John Forsythe from Dynasty or Bachelor Father, but he also gave an interesting performance in the offbeat Hitchcock movie 🎬 The Trouble With Harry. Richard Kiley was quite a prolific actor from the 60s right up into the 80s. Joseph Campanella was such a presence in The Bold Ones along with Joseph Farentino, Burl Ives, etc. Retro-fabulous!
Very good movie. Some of the films shot for TV were more interesting than many theatrical releases. The plot was unusual and surprising. Thanks for posting.
I was born in January 1966. Watching these old movies is really nostalgic. Old cars, old clothes, etc. Interesting that in a 1971 movie they were already alluding to heroin in Vietnam. Thank you for sharing.
Good one. I love old TV movies from the 70 s. I was 6 or 7 when this aired so I missed it. Great plot twists, it kept my attention fully. Thanks so much!
Thank you, CCC for this movie. If anyone knows of anymore of this type please let me know. It has been such a loooooonnnng time since I enjoyed a thriller.
Death by natural causes (1979) is a really good thriller and a lifetime TV movie called A face to kill for is another excellent suspense film. Both are on UA-cam. Let me know if you like my recommendations.

Marvellous cast. Excellent thriller. We only wish that we would have anything good like this nowadays, despite all technology. These actors were class. Today, most are horrific. Class act!
John Forsythe plays a psycho perfectly - Something about this movie I just love, it reminds me of a much simpler more basic time and the acting is so hammy that it’s fun to watch. It’s like an old fashioned 60’s soap opera …. I think it’s terrific.
A good movie, i remember watching this movie back in the seventies! On a funny note we had a pup called Happy!! Some of my favorite actors!! Thank you!!
LOVED John Forsythe in "Dynasty" as Blake Carrington for 220 episodes from 1981 thru 1989! LOVED Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Carter in "Mission Impossible" 1966-1969!
Very clumsy with forensics, even for 1971. For example, opening the murder scene for re-use by those who might be involved in concealing or planting evidence. It was however a surprisingly intense film in that very few characters played a major part in the plot and the director used darkness to add suspense and frights. I'd give that dog an Oscar.
@@joseortega-us6rn watched both movies, great recommendations thank you. The colony did make me think about the sort of neighbourhoods that the WEF want to put us all in. Perhaps it should be critical viewing for them as we humans will never be happy imprisoned in a colony as the films shows.
Wow, all I can say. Incredible old movie, GREAT cast. Murders in the old movies had to be more subtle and cerebral, minus all the blood and gore, but just as riveting. The 'death' scene would be akin to the shower scene in Psycho. Horrifying but you don't really see a lot. It shows real talent to make everything so creepy without blood and guts everywhere. Kept you riveted to the plot you THOUGHT was the plot. This was a really great movie... and wow again... what an ending!!! Thanks again CCC!!
@@sheristewart3940 Not sure I really got it. Was the cop behind it some way the whole time? To get the woman. How did that work? Did the cop know the doc was going to bump off the woman's husband? I'm a bit confused. Lol
@@sheristewart3940 I just watched it again because I wanted to show it to my 22 yr. old son. He didn't get it either. I did like the movie enough to sit through it twice. But I am still confused. I don't want you to be a spoiler for others either, is there a way you can be subtle? I think I was being a spoiler on my previous comment. Maybe I should delete it?
I forgot the twists and turns of this movie. I saw it many years ago, it makes more sense now. I won't spoil this thriller. You owe it to yourself to watch it - but do watch it at least twice and you'll see something you missed previously.
I saw it years ago and could only remember the druggie getting the blame for the murder, cos he was easy to frame, THEN I remembered the COP ended up with the wife!
This is actually a good character and personality study. Arrogance, narcissism, lust for control. It also captures the feel of the era. I was in junior high school the year it was made.
What an excellent made for TV film that was! Never in a million yeras would I have suspected a double double-cross at the end. I only wish that these films could be produced in the modern day. Thanks for posting. Much appreciated.
Great story and acting by real professional actors actresses , good story well directed n produced and no cgi bull crap or crazy non human situations .
It's so fun watching John Forsythe fall apart on camera. If you like this one, find "Kitten With a Whip" where Ann Margaret twists him up like a pretzel. Thanks for posting!
Supieror movie. I love Reta Shaw, such a versitial actress, infact I believe all of the main charaters are versital. There are only a handfull of good actresses and actors these day. I loved the murder scene. You don't have to watch blood and gore. They way it was filmed lets you know what is happening in the story, the rest is left to your imagination. Hollywood has forgotten how to make movies. Really don't know how they stay in bussines. Most people I have spoken with lots of Millineals, absolutly can't stand todays movies and t.v. shows. You would think with Hollywood and the Grammy's losing viewers and money, someone would get a clue!
Sadly, many " go" by accident, crime or disease, long before old age... Try to catch every tiny bit of joy , if you can... Take care. Love from England : we just had our Lovely Q.E.ll's 70 year Jubilee... Most of it was recorded and put on You Tube. Enjoy ! 🇬🇧😊💕🇬🇧😊🇬🇧
The Cars are always my favorite of any older movie. The 60's, thru 72, are my favorites. That's what I worked on, and 79's. I was 7 when this came out. I started messing with cars at 10. I wish I had all those things back. Even the parts I've touched. High end stuff. Rare.
@@kathleenking47 J remember sitting in line to get gas. You may have to help push a car ahead of you, because they ran out waiting. I was 9-10. The whole family, waiting. Going to get a bite to eat on Friday. Pops has gotten paid. Our favorite was the Quickie Drive in. They had the little square Krystal's, before Krystal came.
It's a real shame that Barbara wasn't allowed to actually act in Space:1999 - she could (and indeed should) have bought so much more to the character/role of Dr. Russell.
But that doesn't mean you actually got better for their efforts.i don't like the way insurance ruined medicine but I had chronic heart failure 2 years ago and now I am as healthy as I was before thanks to a great medical team .I was told that had what happened to me happened 30 years ago I would have been looking at a heart replacement and a very limited life so I am thankful for today
They did here in Canada too I remember having both measles and chicken pox in 1977 when I was 13 and the family doctor visiting the house, being really concerned how sick I was. He told my mother to close all the heavy draperies and keep the house dark as I nearly went blind.
No swearing no cell phones no computers no annoyances via technocracy, just a pure straight thriller oh my God how sweet it would be to find those days again, even though I was a kid I still know how it felt and I miss it

Finally a movie with a proper twist at the end! Very enjoyable, thank you. John Forsythe was a very handsome man.

These kinds of posts are what I love UA-cam for most. Thank you for rescuing this little gem from obscurity and sharing it with us! 😌❤️👍
Murder and Adultery were constant themes in these 70's movies!

Don't forget to mention about Barbara Bain who was on the "Mission Impossible" t.v. Show.
She plays the love interest, in this t.v. movie of the week.
I should have said, "t.v. Movie of the Week Mystery."
John Forsythe was also the voice giving assignments to the three beauties in Charlie's Angels.
Very good movie. Some of the films shot for TV were more interesting than many theatrical releases. The plot was unusual and surprising. Thanks for posting.
It is rare to see John Forsythe to play the negative role. He did a good job on that .
In Justice For All ( with Al Pacino), he had a very negative role as well. He was brilliant in it.
Jack La lane's dog was named "happy"

I was expecting to see Peter Falk to show up anytime.
It probably would made a good colombo
She definitely wouldn't have the doctor set up so she could be with Columbo! (YUK)
You mean…Detective Columbo?? 😉
I liked this one, wasn't expecting that ending! Good movie!
I'm so enjoying these old movies on UA-cam.

Real thriller. Movies of yesteryears certainly are the best.
What a blast to the past. The music, sounds, story...takes me back to my childhood.
Love the old movie stars, next trip around I'm coming back with Barbara Bain's looks!
LOVED John Forsythe in "Dynasty" as Blake Carrington for 220 episodes from 1981 thru 1989! LOVED Barbara Bain as Cinnamon Carter in "Mission Impossible" 1966-1969!
The 60s must have been really cool for young people.
Very clumsy with forensics, even for 1971. For example, opening the murder scene for re-use by those who might be involved in concealing or planting evidence.

I miss the palisades of my youth during the mellow seventies. Newcomers have no idea what they missed.
Simply told story, very entertaining, effective production.. worth watching..
Barbara Bain was very pretty!!
This was so good. The acting was superb. The entire production came together like silk sheets.
But, what was the movie About ？ I mean The Plot. What wad that.
I remember movies like this. We only had television. This type of music was always in them.

Great Saturday night movie 🍿 thanks for uploading 🎬👏🏻
this is like a murder she wrote but without Jessica Fletcher.
Typical clever plot from the 1970's, making an excellent film. Thank you!
Very theatrical acting by today's standards, but the ending was certainly unexpected, as it should be in a murder mystery.
"very theatrical" -- only someone who grew up on today's "standards' would refer to actual real, talented acting as "theatrical."
What an ending!!!
Very good movie 🍿. Thanks for sharing and kind regards from old Swiss grandma 👵!

He was the voice OF CHARLIE

A few good twists and turns in the final plot! 👍👍

They don't make movies like this anymore.
I just like to see the cars, and styles back then....I was 8 yrs old when this movie was made. We all grow old and die

started watching at school this morning cos no classes , might watch rest tonight
No nudity. No bloody realistic murder scenes. No smoking in this one, but lots of smoking in other 70s movies.
