Betrayal (1974 TV Movie)
10/10
Seldom seen scene

Warning: Spoilers
I guess that may be a bit of a spoiler. I always thought Tisha Sterling was really pretty. And in this movie, the scene that stands out to me was when her boyfriend viciously punches her in the stomach! I had never seen such a thing - such a pretty girl get so brutally hit in the stomach like that. She goes down immediately, holding her stomach and in pain, unable to breath. The guy grabs her hair and berates her and then leaves her suffering from the stomach punch.

You hardly ever see the attractive girls in movies get hit in the stomach. I was rather young when I saw this and it was so realistic. Tisha's acting was superb. It made me wonder if this had ever happened to her in real life. In the movie, I could hardly tell it was acting.

Good movie all around, but I'll never forget the part where Tisha gets punched so hard in the stomach and doubles over onto a ottoman holding her stomach in pain - at length. I had never seen such a thing in real life or on screen before or since then.
