Verhängnisvolle Erbschaft

"Lena Girard" (Stacy Haiduk) is married to a first-class jerk named "Guy Girard" (Ron Silver) who treats her with contempt and openly cheats on her at every opportunity. So one night after an argument she kills him and cleverly rearranges the scene to make it look like an intruder murdered her husband and brutally raped her in the process. However, after two detectives who arrive to investigate they come up with different conclusions on who the perpetrator was. "Jimmy Price" (Linden Ashby) was friends with both Guy and Lena and believes that Lena was a victim while his partner, "Connie Roos" (Suzy Amis) is convinced that Lena murdered Guy in order to inherit a fortune worth millions of dollars. Unfortunately for Connie, the facts in the case seem pretty concrete and as the days go by the burden of proof becomes much more difficult for her to prove otherwise. Now rather than reveal any more of this film and risk spoiling it for those who haven't seen it I will just say that this was a surprisingly risqué made-for-television movie with Stacy Haiduk definitely providing some sexual energy. Additionally, it also contained a rather clever twist towards the end. In any case, this was a pretty good femme fatale which viewers who enjoy this type of movie might want to check out. Above average.
