Love Hate Love

This is one of those great "TV Movies of the Week" that were so popular from the late 60's to early 70's. Many of these were actually very good and entertaining. This one has Lesley Ann Warren playing a fashion model who has a new boyfriend, Ryan O'Neal. Trouble is her ex-boyfriend Peter Haskell is a psycho who will stop at nothing to break them up. Seems he just can't let go and move on with his life. Lesley even moves across the country to get away from this jerk. Lesley's mother makes the stupidest mistake on earth by telling this moron that Lesley's moved to "California". Well, the old bag thinks California is a big state so he will never find her. WRONG! He immediately tracks her down and her new beau Ryan and makes them both pay. Kind of silly at the time, this was 1971, a good 15 years or so before stalking became a real problem for many celebs. This TV flick is actually kind of ahead of it's time. Acting is good, Peter Haskell makes a very good villian, Lesley Ann Warren has always been underrated. Unfortunately, they don't make 'em like this anymore. No blood gushing, no four letter words every ten seconds but still fun to watch.
