Deliver Them from Evil: The Taking of Alta View (1992) TV Movie


This made-for-TV film was based on a real-life, nail-biting hostage situation. The incident began when a deranged gunman, disgruntled for a variety of reasons, burst into the maternity ward at the Alta View Hospital in Sandy, Utah. Holding mothers, babies and nurses captive, the gunman clearly intended to kill as many people as possible before he himself was subdued by the police. Harry Hamlin, light-years away from LA Law, plays the psychotic intruder, while Terri Garr co-stars as the maternity nurse who struggles to act as the voice of reason. Filmed on location in Salt Lake City, Deliver Them From Evil premiered April 28, 1992. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi

Roe vs. Wade (1989) TV Movie

Holly Hunter plays a lonely (irrelevant), single (as are many people), poorly educated (who's fault?), Texan(?) who finds herself pregnant (she was unaware of 'where babies come from?') with no (apparent) means to support a child. This movie is a disgrace.

Vigilante Cop (1991) TV Movie

Better than expected "cop gone bad" story. Pretty violent for a TV movie, casting is good and the acting is tense.

Guts and Glory: The Rise and Fall of Oliver North (1989) TV Movie

The made-for-TV "Guts and Glory: The Rise and Fall of Oliver North" was heralded by the following ad copy: "Patriot. Zealot. Husband. Soldier. Honored. Accused." Add to that "Pedantic" and "Plodding" and you've summed up the film. Presented in two parts, the film traces the career of Oliver North (David Keith) from his years at the US Naval Academy, on to his tour of duty in Vietnam, and ending up with a post on the National Securities Council. Part Two of Guts and Glory covers the Iran-Contra affair, but is forced to leave the denouement open-ended, since North's guilt or innocence was still being deliberated when the film premiered on April 30 and May 2, 1989. The audience is permitted to draw its own conclusions, though Ollie North is no more warm and fuzzy on film than he was in real life. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
