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.
