TV movie that I only watched because it was directed by Peter Hyams. I'm surprised how unconventional and character study-ish it was - I thought TV movies were more formulaic. But maybe they were reassured by the presence of Dennis Weaver- presumably this was done as a deal.
It's an episodic tale of a mechanic whose wife dies and who goes to prison for attempted murder (of her lover Don Stroud). He gets out, his kids have been taken away so he tries to get him back. Weaver is a stud muffin in this one - he gets off with one gal, Donna Mills, then another, the waitress.
There's lots of southern accents. Not bad. Interesting vanity project/vehicle.
