Last night, I was scanning the channels and saw an "old" movie with Anthony Hopkins starting up...
An Anthony Hopkins fan, I decided to watch it. One of the best Hopkins films I've ever seen! Turns out the movie was called "A Guilty Conscience," (1985) and starred Hopkins as a rich but shady lawyer whose wife wants a divorce and is blackmailing him for a large settlement. He spends the movie thinking up different ways to "dispose" of his wife (played by Blythe Danner) and tests his ideas by considering how a prosecuter would try him.
In the end, there is a rather ironic twist (which I won't divulge in case you have a chance to watch this fine movie), and the whole thing kept me interested the whole way through (which is a rare feat, especially since I believe this was orignially a "made for tv" movie!).
Anyone else seen this movie? I thought it was excellent! Maybe I'll have to break down and rent "Silence of the Lambs" yet!
