Not having a clue as to what to expect with this movie, we took a chance when it showed on cable recently. From the start, the film had a look that said "Movie of the Week". The only thing missing was: "Inspired on a true story". Frankly, while the film is not horrible, we don't share the same enthusiasm expressed by some of the contributors to this page.
The story has possibilities. The strong cast assembled for the movie is the best thing it has going for itself. The direction by David Greene with its many twists and plots, doesn't quite make it, but we realize there will be viewers that might enjoy "Guilty Conscience".
Anthony Hopkins makes a sly Arthur Jamison, the man who wants to do away with his wife. Blythe Danner makes an elegant Louise Jamison, the woman who had a scheme of her own. The fabulous Swoozie Kurtz makes a valuable contribution as Jackie, Arthur's mistress.
