tomsharp I would have to agree that Janet Leigh looks very beautiful in this movie, but I hope that people also notice how great of a performance she gives. This character gives her the chance to play a much more seedy part, and she plays it to the hilt. I don't want to take away from the other great things about this movie because there are many. The plot was great, most of the actors were very good, and the use of flashbacks was COOL! The script was quite racy for a TV movie of that time. House on Greenapple Road still holds up watching it today, and many believe it is one of the better made for TV movies.

TSMChicago I saw the initial telecast of this crime drama on ABC in 1970. The Sunday Night Movie was usually a theatrical film trimmed for broadcast and every so often a made for TV "world premiere" was shown as well. This was one of the best of those in-house TV movies.I was in junior high and it made quite an impression at the time. Well-acted, more sophisticated than many of the procedurals we have on television today. Not gratuitous but pretty graphic for the time on ABC.Christopher George was an under-appreciated actor who was often cast as the heavy. Here he gave a layered, realistic performance as Lt. Dan August.I recently found a DVD-R copy of this title at www.adifferentcity.com. The quality was pretty good and it was great to see the movie after 34 years!

staticeat This movie haunted me for years. I was 8 or 9 years old when I first saw it and it scared the hell out of me. Back then I was past the point of being afraid of "monsters" and such, but the opening scene in which a really young Eve Plumb( yes, "Jan" on The Brady Bunch) comes home from school, enters the empty house calling out for her mother and finds a bloody hand-print on the refrigerator just hit home with me. What would be a child's worst fear?? Losing their parent(s). The rest of the film is a decent enough murder mystery with some fairly big name 70s actors rounding out the cast. Watch for it in reruns on local TV; I have seen it a couple times over the years.

yenlo I started watching this made for TV film partly because Janet Leigh was in it. I was surprised that it turned out to be a pretty good TV movie. Leigh plays a cheating wife who disappears and the men who she has been having affairs with come into question as her possible abductor/murderer etc. This film spun off into the Dan August TV series. Dan August is the plain clothes police officer assigned to crack the case and find the missing Janet Leigh character. Overall an entertaining picture. Janet Leigh looked good in a white bathing suit by the way.
