"A Candy Bar Is One Of The Best Things In Life!"...

Warning: Spoilers
Newlyweds, Ned and Vicki Bliss (David Hartman and Jess Walton) have an idyllic marriage. They're the sort of couple that either makes us envious, or sick to our stomachs. Trouble brews in paradise when Vicki grows concerned about her ailing mother (Jane Wyatt). The idea of an unexpected trip to mum's house causes turmoil between the two lovebirds, resulting in a physical altercation.

Vicki storms off alone to see her mother, uttering the words of the title as she leaves. Ned's anger subsides, replaced by worry and growing dread when Vicki's words appear to have been prophetic.

YOU'LL NEVER SEE ME AGAIN is one of the best, most suspenseful made-for-TV thrillers ever produced. Hartman is superb as the everyman thrust into the unknown. His odyssey is the core of the movie, as he's driven ever deeper into the mystery of Vicki's disappearance. There are some nice twists and turns as Ned's life unravels, and his desperation increases.

The final twist is a jaw-dropper, leading to a very satisfying denouement.

EXTRA CREDIT FOR: Bo Svenson as Sam, the world's tallest, most surly behemoth / gas station attendant! No kidding, this guy is built like a cast iron furnace!...
