5.0 out of 5 stars A Cut Above The Average TV Movie!, August 13, 2003
By
James Helberg "Actor for Hire" (Detroit, MI United States) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)
This review is from: A Killing in a Small Town (True Stories Collection TV Movie) (DVD) "Evidence Of Love" a.k.a "Killing In A Small Town" when it aired on CBS in the early 90's features an EMMY Award winning performance by Barbara Hershey (Beaches)The film is adapted from the book "Evidence Of Love" which is based on the true story of Candy Morrison who appeared to be an upstanding wife, mother and respected member of the community.
After an affair with her best friend's husband things spin out of control and Candy soon realizes the damage she has caused is irreversible. Confronted by her friend about the affair, their anger quickly becomes violent.
The film ends with a courtroom scene which has become all to familiar in made for TV movies. However, this film rises above such conventions with stellar performances by Hershey, Brian Dennehy and Hal Holbrook, a clever script by Cynthia Cidre and skilled direction by Stephen Gyllenhaal.
The DVD has no special features other that full screen presentation and scene selection. The picture quality is quite good and is beautifully packaged in a keep case coverbox.
This is feature film quality entertainment! Not your average made for TV movie!

5.0 out of 5 stars Riveting, unforgettable, excellent film., February 23, 2000
By A Customer
This review is from: Killing in a Small Town [VHS] (VHS Tape) I have never seen a made-for-television movie as riveting and powerful as this. Not only is the story, (based on real events) absolutely astounding, but the film offers a marvelous depiction of small town America in the bible belt and how very ordinary people can be led to do terrible things. Barbara Hershey's performance is one of the best I've ever seen by any actor anywhere. So finely nuanced and real. I will never, ever forget this film.

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely superb, should have been a theatrical release, May 10, 2000
By
Dave Hillman (New York, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Killing in a Small Town [VHS] (VHS Tape) This is a brilliant version of the book "Evidence of Love," a true story about small-town repressions that lead to horrific circumstances. Brian Dennehy, Hal Holbrook, John Terry, and Lee Garlington are letter-perfect as the supporting cast. But you will never forget Barbara Hershey as the protagonist. Her performance is completely devastating, and it takes a subsequent viewing to appreciate just how flawless she is (she gets so deep into this character that you forget you're watching an actress). She won the Emmy and had this been a theatrical release (shoulda been, IMHO) she would have trotted home Oscar. One of the most exquisite performances ever filmed. She really delivers the goods, especially in the bone-rattling murder sequence.

This movie is based on a true story. It's very good, there's a little more "flash-backs" than I like in a movie, but you need to see them to get the whole story.
