Storyline
Record producer Phil Spector hires Bruce Cutler to defend him when he's accused of murder. Cutler persuades Linda Kenney Baden to advise him. While the prosecution's story is contradicted by facts in the case, there is convincing circumstantial evidence against Spector, not the least of which is his appearance. As Baden gradually takes over the defense, even as she is ill with pneumonia, she must find a way to introduce ballistic evidence in a dramatic enough fashion to plant doubt in the jury's mind. Calling Specter to testify may be the only way to stage the evidence. She coaches him and rehearses him: can he (and she) pull it off? Written by <jhailey@hotmail.com>

Great talent. The best. Actors, writer, director. Awful result. The worst. Acting, writing, directing.
Even the best creative talent, even when already a mature artist, can deliver bad stuff. Happens. Happened.
Young screen writers are told to avoid, and how to avoid, "exposition." This TV movie was all exposition.
The lighting leaves most scenes murky, but murky does not substitute for mystery. Mystery, and suspense, ain't none.
It opens with an on-screen statement that, in effect, this is a free fictional invention based on the trial of Phil Spector. But closes with an on-screen statement that seems to be an actual summary of the trial outcome which is not in the film. Not sure if that's also a fictional element or reality.
