FATAL VISION
The
crime stuns the public. The pregnant wife and two young daughters
of Captain Jeffrey MacDonald, M.D., have just been brutally
murdered. All eyes are on MacDonald. Could a dedicated doctor and
brilliant militarist murder his own family in cold blood? After
the longest court hearing in military history, charges
against the highly
respected MacDonald are dropped due to inconclusive evidence.
Convinced of his guilty, however, his determined in-laws (Karl
Malden and Eva Marie Saint) fight for nearly ten years to reopen
the case. This suspenseful trial culminates in a gripping
conclusion.
Based on Joe
McGinnis' number one best selling book, the highly acclaimed
FATAL VISION brings to life one of the most publicized and
thought-provoking criminal cases in modern history in a powerful,
compelling motion picture. Synopsized from summary on
RCA/Columbia video box cover.
James Morrison has exactly one line in this TV movie as a green
beret whose testimony is called to support comrade soldier
MacDonald, "He had a rare level of communication with
Colette and an extraordinary interest in his children."
