The Other Man

Even though it has been 34 years since I saw this made for tv film, I still think about it. The scenery at Carmel and Big Sur fit the story perfectly with the brooding sounds of surf, wind and storm. Both Hackett and Thinnes were perfect in their roles. I would love to see it again and see if what I remember is the real film and not just selective memory. After reading the cast list, I began remembering more of the film and it's characters. I loved Tammy Grimes in her role--and Arthur Hill was well cast as the career preoccupied husband. The music also sets both the mood and tempo of this wonderful film.Perhaps someone reading this might know how to contact ABC tv and see if a video is a possibility.

I remember seeing this movie 34 years ago and it was full of suspense and twists. It grabs you at the beginning and keeps you guessing throughout the whole movie. I have thought about this movie for the past several years and have checked in video stores to see if it's available, but was never able to find it or anyone who had even heard of it. I think this type of movie is timeless, and I know it would be enjoyed by a whole new generation of movie watchers. I hope this gets on video soon as it would be fun to see if it has the same impact on me as it did back in the early 70's.

It's very rare that a TV movie can make that much of an impression, but this was did and still does after so many years.

This movie has remained in my mind for years as one of the best made-for-TV movie mysteries I've ever seen. The acting is superb. I've seen it twice and still am puzzled at some parts. I'd love to have a copy so I can play certain parts over and over again. I am interested in buying a copy of this movie, but cannot find it anywhere.I am wondering if if anyone has any suggestions how to find it? I've tried e-bay, Amazon.com, Internet searches, and am completely frustrated. I've not seen it on Turner Classic Movies, nor on American Movie Classics and I have even put out fliers in our community asking if anyone has a copy.

The music and the theme are one of the most beautiful pieces of music I have ever heard. The scenery is absolutely breathtaking, and, I loved Roy Thinnes and Joan Hackett together. I felt like I was falling in love. I so wish I had access to a copy again. I would love to have it become part of my collection.

I was a 20 year old college student living with the folks when I first saw this, and I've never forgotten it. I'm a huge Joan Hackett fan, and this film was perfect for her remarkable talent. I'm so glad to see that so many other people have such a fond memory of seeing this. Naturally, it's not available on any media! It would be perfect to show on Lifetime, but because of its age, they won't. You never see anything there before the mid-eighties. I can still remember what made me watch it when it was first run: Rex Reed reviewed it in The New York Daily News, and he said that it was like a throwback to the great Hollywood films of the forties, and had it been made then, the Hackett and Grimes parts would have been played by Stanwyck and Crawford. Think about that! P.S. So sad that Joan Hackett left us so tragically young.
