Farrah Fawcett plays an abused mother who kills her husband by setting his bed on fire. She is then arrested for murder, pleads insanity, and sets to convince the jury by recounting her story describing exactly what she endured.
A staggering study of domestic abuse, brings the emotional crises of abused women to heart-aching life.
***1/2 out of ****. One of the greatest TV movies ever.
