ABC Movie of the Week
Directed by Jud Taylor
My rating: 2.5 stars out of 4

A woman switches briefcases in the San Francisco airport but later contacts the man to return it. She drugs him and locks him inside a cell in her basement. Apparently she believes her daughter committed suicide after the man got her pregnant. He explains it away as a case of mistaken identity. Meanwhile his wife consults a psychic in her search for him. The psychic turns out to be a fake, but ironically it is the wife that has psychic abilities. Shelley Winters gives a gloriously deranged performance as the kidnapper in one of the better ABC made for TV movies.
