Too Good to Be True (1988) TV Movie

Remake of the 1945 classic starring Gene Tierney, Cornel Wilde, Jeanne Crain and Vincent Price. Unfortunately, taking a black & white classic feature film and converting into a TV movie will leave results that some fans of the original will not appreciate. Taken as a stand-alone contemporary product, it's not that bad. I have to admit laughing out loud when Doogie pulls out his crutches in an obvious and heavy-handed attempt to gain sympathy from the audience. If you're a fan of the great Loni Anderson this will hit the spot.

Deliberate Stranger, The (1986) TV Movie

Based on a true story, this film depicts the life of Theodore Robert Bundy, the serial killer. In 1974, after having murdered several young women, he leaves Seattle for Utah, where he is a law student and where other girls disappear. It takes the cooperation of a number of police forces to work efficiently on this case. Soon, but not soon enough, the police eliminate endless possibilities and close in on him. Bundy is tried in the media and his good-boy attitude brings him sympathy but also the hatred of many. Very good TV movie, there is a good rundown on wikipedia.
