A Very Unusual Story, 18 June 2004
8/10

Crescendo is a very unusual story.This is a true gem in the early made for television movies of the early 1970s.I watched this movie a couple of months ago, and I loved it.I think the suspense and the build up in this movie is terrific.I liked it from the very beginning to the very end.The cast includes Stefanie Powers and James Olson and others.Stefanie Powers and James Olson did a very good job portraying their roles. Stefanie Powers has been in a lot of real good made for television dramas from the 1970s and the 1980s.James Olson is not too well known as an actor,but he has been in so many good movies over the years.I think that the writing was intelligent,the entire movie was very well done.I hope that Crescendo is not going to be redone by Hollywood,because the original movie could not be improved upon.I gave this a high rating. I highly recommend this movie to everyone.
