I don't have all the words right now but this film is a work of art.

A lot more amusing than I thought it would be.

Tells a fascinating and unsettling true story, and does so well, without pretending to have all the answers.

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Meredith Baxter miraculously makes us feel some sympathy for the spoiled former wife of attorney Daniel Broderick even in this sequel to the original television film. Betty is now in prison for murdering her husband and his new wife in their bedroom. It's hard to feel sympathy for a woman who was getting $16,000 a month in alimony and living in a million-dollar home overlooking the Pacific Ocean. Regardless, Betty was determined to win the divorce even if it meant killing Dan and his wife and going to prison for the crimes. She wasn't going to be embarrassed but she did the same to her husband and her own family. Judith Ivey plays the prosecutor in the case. Kelli Williams returns as does Stephen Collins. I get the feeling that they had so much fun making the original that they returned to the sequel. Most of the original cast is back in the sequel.

I think this was a very interesting and well written movie. The substance of the movie was explosive. So very often one spouse works very hard to make a success out of the other mate. In the end they are tossed aside. Once success comes, the spouse who took second place is discarded because the feeling is they are a flaw in the society of the elite and successful. She had good reason to be angry, but there are better and more effective ways of getting even. Murder should never be a consideration. Betty went too far! The actress who played the sister of Linda, The new wife, showed a very uncanny resemblance to the actress who played Linda. I wonder if there is some relationship there.

This is definitely a great movie. I have seen this and the first one entitled "A Woman Scorned". This story interested people so much that they had to make a sequel. I think this movie is well made and acted.Spoilers Ahead Betty, was not just a woman scorned though. She was also a killer who went over to her exhusband and his wife Linda's house and broke in and shot them while they were sleeping. She then pulled the phone out of wall so Dan could not call for help. Then when Betty is still in the county jail awaiting her second trial she is disciplined for a scuffle that she had with an inmate earlier. But Betty won't coroparate so the guards have to carry her down to solitary. I saw the real-life incident on TV and the funny thing about it was that they showed her in her green panties. Which teaches a good lesson that if she would have just kept her mouth shut and did what she was told instead of fighting and arguing then she would have spared herself the aggravation, embarrassment and trouble. She is a spoiled rotten brat who definitely needs to grow up.

She's a good TV actress, but women scorned seem to be her genre. I'd like to see her work in some better quality productions. She's the darling of Lifetime TV (that someone I know of calls the "Stayfree Channel"
