No Place to Hide (1981)
Excellent suspense TV movie
I found this movie highly entertaining. It succeeds on many levels: The acting is superb, the suspense tight, and even the camera work is above par. It's a quiet film that is very easy to watch, with twists and turns aplenty. It's unfortunate for us movie aficionados--especially of the thriller genre--that we no longer have access once a week to these gems that appeared on TV and were well watched. This work took me back to a time when watching movies was a true pleasure. The only negative was the convoluted plot that's revealed as we reach the story's conclusion, but that can be easily forgiven as the heart of the plot of the movie more than makes up for it. One of the best TV movies I've seen, and viewers of good suspense movies won't be disappointed. I rate this film a well- deserved 10.
See the Man Run (1971)
One of the all-time best TV movies
And I really mean that. This film, a Movie of the Week special, has a quietness about it, yet beneath everything there's a sense of foreboding that lurks, with a twist ending that is memorable and certainly had folks talking about it at the dinner table that evening and even beyond, one of the best thrillers I've seen in a while. The late Robert Culp plays this role with so much skill, that I for a split second during a conversation with the kidnappers, I'd thought he was actually the doctor. There are several moments of comedy here--entirely unintentional, I suppose--which to me were a delicious bonus to this most entertaining film. Just a good old- fashion thriller, which will undoubtedly remind lovers of how good the storytelling in the past often could be. I give it a 10 all the way.
