blanche-2 I have to say I'm a little put out by the first review I read here which sort of blames the victim. First of all, Anne Marie Fahey wasn't cheating on her boyfriend. She met him and broke it off with Capano, who continued to harass her. Secondly, it wouldn't matter if she HAD cheated on her boyfriend, had an affair with a married man, or threw a rock through his window -- she didn't deserve to be murdered.Okay, that's out of the way. I know a little about the Anne Marie Fahey case from news shows; also, Capano just died last year of cardiac arrest. Capano's death sentence was commuted to life - I can't remember why -- but his life turned out to be fairly short.Mark Harmon is Thomas Capano, the man with everything - position, money, a beautiful family, a mother who doted on him, and two brothers who depended on him. The family was dysfunctional but that's beside the point. He had a lot going for him. When he met the shy Anne Marie Fahey, she fell into his trap immediately and believed that he and his wife didn't have much of a marriage (though the film doesn't mention it, he seems to have either been separated from her or have been in the process of separation when he met Fahey). First it was friendship, then it was love, and then she couldn't get rid of him. When she started seeing a psychiatrist, met someone else, and fell in love, Capano wouldn't let her go. Then she disappeared.In the meantime, he had another longstanding girlfriend, played by Rachel Ward.It took a while to bring Capano to justice, as he was a smart attorney as well as arrogant, and he felt that he was above the law.This is an excellent story, and Mark Harmon is so darn handsome and charming, you can understand why someone, be it a girlfriend, a wife, or a family member, would believe everything he says. Kathryn Morris was just right for Anne Marie (although I think she looked different physically from the real Anne Marie), playing her as shy, frail, and confused.Unfortunately if you follow true crime shows, there are just too many of this type of case, where murder seems to be the solution of choice -- the Scott Peterson and Drew Peterson cases come to mind, as well as others. "And Never Let Her Go" is a very sad story, about a girl from a loving family who wanted to meet Mr. Right, fell for Mr. Wrong, and paid the price.

Rick Blaine But it's very good. It's a notch above the average fare in this genre. You do have to remember it's just a made for television movie - or miniseries to be more exact. About three and one half hours running time.And no, it's not going to have the continuity of a 'real' movie, not with it's continual fade outs for barrages of advertisements.But given that the genre is severely handicapped - and that interest in features such as this is most often rather prurient, this one does very well.Harmon is so good he's really disgusting and you really get to hate him by the end. Too bad for Mark: it's going to be hard to get glamorous movies where he can cut to the chase with Meg after things like this and the Bundy one.Rachel Ward is simply excellent; Morris is very convincing; they're all very good and the screen writing is above average too, as is the camera work.It's a very tragic and very gripping story and well worth the time spent to view it.

dracula34 This excellent drama had me in suspense the whole time. I could not take my eyes off the screen for one second because every word kept connecting the pieces to this puzzling murder. This movie really touched me because it showed how sad and hard life can be. I really did cry in the end (which I don't want to give away!) It also let me realize how cruel and sickening people can be when it comes to murder. The cast was also very good. The only bad cast member was the actress who played Anne Marie. The actress did a great job, but the director didn't. I say this because he found someone who didn't look a single bit like Anne Marie Fahey herself.

bux The fine cast cannot uplift this routine tale of a secretary murdered by her married paramour. In fact there are more questions than answers in this one-sided tale of romance and murder; and since we are only provided with the prosecution's side, none of these questions will be answered. This is the type of fare that appeals to the "He Woman, Man Hater" clubs of America. As presented, it is the tale of an innocent woman who just happens to be "caught up" in a romance with a married, high-profile attorney. Is it possible that IF, she had not been two timing her boy friend and having an affair with a married man, the whole nasty murderous, sordid incident could have been avoided? When you watch this, don't worry about going to the 'fridge, you won't miss anything.
