DEATH SENTENCE (1974) ¢ ¢
D: E.W. Swackhammer
Cloris Leachman, Laurence Luckinbill, Nick Nolte,
William Schallert, Alan Oppenheimer, Peter Hobbs
Cloris Leachman plays a juror in a murder trial who starts to suspect that the real killer isn't the accused, but her own husband. A mystery that gives away its main secret in the first five minutes and then waits more than an hour for Leachman's character to catch up. William Schallert as the defense attorney comes off the best in this. It's mostly a good cast wasted. Young Nick Nolte plays the defendant. Made for TV.
