Scorned and Swindled (1984)
Interesting True Story
19 November 2020
Based on the case of Giovanni Vigliotto (born Fred Jiff), a serial bigamist and former mental patient who married and conned over 100 women. Here he is played by Peter Coyote, and Tuesday Weld plays the character based on Patricia Ann Gardiner, who was robbed of $36,000 by Vigliotto and successfully tracked him down and launched the court case which eventually saw him convicted of fraud and bigamy. He died in prison in 1991, age 61.
The lead actors are OK, and among the good supporting cast Susan Ruttan, as Weld's friend Margie, and Oscar Rowland, as a crabby clergyman, are especially fine.
