Outstanding television movie involving the sleuthing of one Jessica Fletcher, played to the hilt by the great Angela Lansbury.
This civil war tale has Jessica going back in time over 100 years, as her aunt, and with a wonderful southern accent, Lansbury pulls this off in a very good, profound performance.
Scars are brought out in this tale of injustice, murder and ultimate redemption. In the modern day south, there is still the call for our life being preserved, even if this meant hatred.
Phylicia Rashad guests as a black author trying to see if she can vindicate her great-grandfather of murder. We view a tale of misery through slavery, the revelation of the Underground Railroad, as well as bigotry at its worst. In her southern version, Jessica, as her aunt, comes across as a kindly woman, sympathetic to the plight of slaves. There is no southern proper judgment for its slaves as we soon see.
The picture is extra good, because the supposed obvious murder isn't the guilty party, but rather someone you would never expect.
Gloria Stuart appears in one scene as the great-granddaughter of a man who participated in the Underground Railway movement.
