The Screaming Woman (1972 TV Movie)
7/10
old veteran pitching
26 March 2023
Laura Wynant (Olivia de Havilland) is riding her buggy around her vast estate. She finds disturbed grounds and discovers a woman buried alive. She runs screaming back to her home, but her family doesn't believe her. She had recently left psychiatric care.

This is a TV movie on ABC based on a Ray Bradbury short story. My biggest complaint is that they should have kept the buried woman a mystery. The audience should question whether Mrs. Wynant had actually seen something or imagined it all. They should not be shown the buried woman and also the man covering up the hole. On the other hand, I really liked her scrambling to find help from her neighbors. That's when the intensity sky rockets. It leads up to a terrific scene with Nesbitt. At the end of the day, this is a showcase to revisit an old Hollywood veteran. She could have done so much more during her later period. I don't know if it's her or the industry. She definitely still has a fast ball.
