ABC Film Challenge – Mystery – L – Linda (1973) Movie Rob’s Pick
“Linda, Why in Gods name did you do this?” – Paul Reston
Number of Times Seen – 1 (10 Aug 2023)
Brief Synopsis – While on vacation, a man is framed of murdering a woman who turns out to be the wife of his own wife’s lover.
My Take on it – Such a clever idea that works really well. The script is written really well and despite the viewer having certain things revealed early on, it’s great seeing how the other characters figure these things out as the story unfolds. The cast is good and helps make things come across in a believable way. The small town lawyers and law enforcement agents also do a great job trying to decipher what really happened. The premise is one that has been used often, but they manage to keep things feeling quite unique here in how it all plays out.
Recommended!
