A Face to Kill for (1999 TV Movie)
Yet another Crystal Bernard loser.
29 October 2004
Okay, so here we have yet another Crystal Bernard vehicle in which our heroine is disfigured (does some fairly good acting in the early part of film) who gets framed by her husband and sent to prison. Prison toughens her up and she gets into fights with fellow inmates and, you got it, gets even more disfigured. But, alas, our heroine gets that plastic surgery and a new face and after prison release goes after her husband who has since re-married. From there on it goes downhill and Miss Bernard turns in some bad acting. Typical story? You got it. Nothing new here. The horses look beautiful.

Unfortunately, Miss Bernard continues to wear these short skirts, that make her look cheap, and still sports that mop of hair that is annoying to look at. Won't someone suggest that she get a haircut? Is this lion's mane look supposed to be attractive? It went out in the 40s when the likes of Rita Hayworth and Veronica Lake held the glamor department. The one redeeming value in this soap opera is the appearance of Doug Savant. I wonder why he always gets the villain roles? He's a good looking guy, who I remember did another villain in MASQUERADE even opposite the handsome Rob Lowe. This is not the best in TV drama. Saw this on Lifetime TV. But worth watching Savant. Even though there's a bad torture scene upon some of the horses.
