It's good to see a young(ish) Jamie Lee Curtis do something besides horror flicks--she exudes an alluring, low-key brazenness. Bette Davis proves she's still got it, even post-stroke. This is her second TV movie written by Michael De Guzman (credited as Ed Namzug...get it?), and it's the good writing that carries this. Proof: it's possible to sit through the racial bigotry and the tired climactic-courtroom-scene trope without squirming. The total implausibility--for 1960 Georgia--is the verdict.
