This is probably one of the best TV movies made in this era. Great opening scene with Eve Plumb finding one of the bloodiest crime scenes in any movie of the era (TV or Theater). All that blood and no body! We see Janet in flashbacks to great advantage with a who's who of Hollywood at the time (Peter Mark Richman, William Windom, etc) Great locations as well, the "House" is in Pacific Palisades, the old Oxnard, CA Library serves as the police station. The old Santa Monica Beach Home of Marion Davies is the Country Club. Great acting all the way around. The flashbacks are really interesting and do not get boring. I never get tired of seeing this great movie, I wish it were on DVD! Julie Harris is also very good in a rare TV role. Too bad they didn't use Christopher George in the series, it may have lasted longer. Look for Chris' wife Lynda Day in a small role as a pothead secretary. The ending is a plot twist as well, and kind of ironic considering Janet's earlier work in Psycho.
