Carnal Innocence (2011 TV Movie)
7/10
Carnal Innocence- Where's Ann-Margret's Knowledge? ***
15 June 2011
Warning: Spoilers
Interesting, intriguing film dealing with a series of murders in a small Mississippi town. The town seems to be nicely integrated and with the exception of a black man being beaten up in one scene, all people seem to live in harmony. In fact, the head of the police is a black gentleman.

Shirley Jones, as Della, has a small role here. At the very end, she has a strong,emotional scene once the killer has been revealed. Ironically, one of the victims of the murderer is a woman who resembled Shirley so much in her Oscar winning role as Lulu Baines in 1960's "Elmer Gantry."

Our leading man, Colin Egglesfield, ought to change his name. He will be the object of every joke regarding eggs should his career evolve.

This story has everything going for it. You play a real guessing game in determining who the murderer is and I guarantee that you will not come up with the answer.

We've got lust, cheating on spouses, revenge, and so much more.
