Members Franko Posted yesterday at 04:06 PM Members Share Posted yesterday at 04:06 PM Here's the thread devoted to them. If they ran longer than two installments, I think they should go to the miniseries thread, but I'm not going to be a hall monitor. I should do my homework and find out what stars like Victoria Principal, Cheryl Ladd, etc. thought about their TV movies. I imagine that the stars who had regular series work liked having something to break up their regular grind and/or having an extra paycheck. And it probably didn't hurt their Q ratings, either. If I was a motivational speaker, this would be my entrance music. Please register in order to view this content 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted yesterday at 04:38 PM Members Share Posted yesterday at 04:38 PM (edited) If I had to choose an all-time favorite TV movie, I'd choose "One of My Wives is Missing," starring James Franciscus, Elizabeth Ashley and Jack Klugman. Based on a French stage play about a man who insists a woman claiming to be his recently disappeared wife is not, it was produced by Aaron Spelling and Leonard Goldberg, written by Peter Stone ("Charade," "1776"), and it aired on ABC the 1975-76 season. Another all-time favorite: "The Christmas Wife," produced in 1988 for HBO, and starring Jason Robards and Julie Harris. A very tender story about a widower (Robards) who hires a female companion (Harris) for the Christmas season. To this day, it remains a wonderful showcase for two legendary performers, and it's one I'd love to see adapted again someday.

Members Paul Raven Posted 14 hours ago Members Share Posted 14 hours ago I enjoyed a lot of the 90 minute suspense movies from the early 70's. the shorter length usually ensured that there was no padding. One I recall was Night Terror with Val Harper. Sort of Duel with a suburban mom. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soaplovers Posted 14 hours ago Members Share Posted 14 hours ago I saw that once on Encore Mystery... it was intense and she kicked butt. Some of my favorite tv movies from the 1980s Deadly Messages from 1985. Don't Go to Sleep from 1982. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Khan Posted 11 hours ago Members Share Posted 11 hours ago That wouldn't have happened if she and Joe had stayed together. I'm just saying. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DemetriKane Posted 2 hours ago Members Share Posted 2 hours ago Thank you for both of these recommendations. I never watched either of them, just added both to my watchlist. What would I do without this board? LOL 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
