Shadow of a Doubt (1995 film)

Shadow of a Doubt is a 1995 American TV movie that was written and directed by its star Brian Dennehy.

Despite mounting accusations that question his competence and frenzied opposition by a politically ambitious prosecutor, Charley is reluctantly drawn into defending Angel in a high-profile trial that quickly becomes a media circus.

Driven by a desperate need to redeem himself, Charley descends into a shadowy world of murder and money, illusion and deceit.

Against tremendous odds, Charley must find a way to prove to the jury that Angel might be innocent and to create in their minds a small but crucial shadow of a doubt.

[1] Carole Horst of Variety wrote, "Dennehy turns in a fine perf as Charlie, and is believable as a recovering alcoholic, but Balk, batting her huge eyes and coming off like a mini Lana Turner with her platinum hair, is the telepic's saving grace as she both seduces the audience and turns on the innocent charm when it's necessary.
