OMG.Robert Urich was Nefarious in this OMG.wow.just a ruthless odd guy. and hateful,inward,and smile/tall handsome charming on the outer.Sad how it end.He is in heaven now,RIP not FAGOT,the guy i would hope not,but actor R.URICH,who die In my consensus too early,he was great! On Vegas and a few more great TV true stories,but this one is incredible.Actually; it is coming on tonight,and again throughout month of May & Jone 2012 on Lifetime,and or LMN. My consensus is the movie is beyond-good would give it a 10+ if i can.Sad carol did not tell mike, Look my father has LIFE INSURANCE money on you,so DO NOT GO, she should've told him,then i believe MIKE right now will be alive.so sad. The actor who star as Mike Joanne old boyfriend/or 1 guy she did date at 1 time,is cute and sweet,good for carol too,but she undermine this relationship due to her ODD-LOVE for a man who clearly undermine her life and michael's repeatedly,and his children.Love the Narrative,at the end by CAROL- told by one of my fave actress the tall beautiful,talented Gwenyth Paltrow,she is so great in it,the way she keep on getting her father help from Mike,her loving and faithful sweet boyfriend,turned husband,for which he clearly love her,and was in love with her but she was just a stupid girl,believing she can trust this guy. Mike was right about her father,and i think it is a sad ending,but i did expect it to end something similar,regarding 'Dad' and i know this much after the father kill the first son in law, if i was CAROL i would have done MORE to keep MIKE,her husband number two all by the age of 23/24, i would have done MORE,TO KEEP MIKE alive/away from"Dad", so sad about mike. and i am trying to remember the actor name but he was funny, really great in the movie.Lastly i want to encompass,that the mother who star in COACH Shelly fabares,is a great actress,truly under-rated,and i adore her,she was so great in this,and mike, carol,Joanne, LOVE HER,she was astute enough to realize her father was NOT worth squat.Matthew Perry,now 41 years old,was very young in this and so good! sad how he end up,but great actor in this,as his other movies.all around cast was great, and i can re-watch this true tragic story 100x more times,in my lifetime,because it is THAT good,but tragic,so sad. daughter,carol finally do the RIGHT THING,even if she sound so sad at the end.the music is good at the end,and in between scenes,and the way the father control them from day one,is proof of enough the man was not playing with a full deck-i can't see ONE second where he did truly love CAROL,sad how she had to find out the HARD WAY by losing MIKE THAT HE DID NOT really love her,Not at all,and Crucifying her,Under Oath.that was a shame.and then U see MIKE frustrated,(I CAN'T BLAME HIM) over the daughter CAROL,keep wanting to get money from MIKE! her child father, and spouse to just"GIVE IT ALL'as she say to her father?WTF is that about?Mike smack her up was no, NOT RIGHT,but i can see why he was getting so angry to give"ALL THE MONEY"away,to dad?OMG. your able to see toward END so so SO sad, mike was getting a real job,HAIR cut from long and was able to work legally,as Carol,was and the "love"the two clearly had was STILL THERE.Just became too late thanks to her DAD's love for her by killing mike too, as clearly this was NO REAL LOVE from a parent,to his child and i am sad still for the family,and hopefully wherever,they are way older now,they are all doing well as can be,and ended up being somewhat happy after so much multiple tragedies,that NO loving family on earth deserve.BMWREDHEADLAWSTUDENT@Gmail.com

I came upon this movie as I was channel-surfing on a Sunday afternoon (a bad day for television, even with digital cable).Lifetime was showing it and when I saw the cast, I decided to watch.The late Robert Urich did a marvelous job in the TV movie "Blind Faith" as Robert Marshall, the NJ insurance man who had his wife, Maria, murdered in 1984, and is now serving life in prison.He did not disappoint in this movie as a control freak of a father who went so far as to kill his two sons-in-law for insurance money (and to blow off his own right hand for the same reason).A truly scary guy.A young Gwyneth Paltrow (one of my favorite actresses) did an equally terrific job as Carol Fagot Holland, the daughter who was loyal to her father at first but , in the end, helped to bring him down.Roxanne Zal also does a good job playing Urich's psychotic second wife, Marty.Shelley Fabrares does not get enough air time in this move, but makes good use when she is on screen.Good scenery , fine acting.Nice way to kill two hours on a Sunday afternoon.I'd recommend it.
