Home for the Holidays (1972)


ABC
Directed by John Llewellyn Moxey
My rating: 2 stars out of 4
IMDb
(VHS, Vidmark Entertainment)

The estranged daughters return home at Christmas to visit their dying father who claims in a letter that his new wife is slowly poisoning him. She flatly denies it, but when one of them turns up dead she becomes the prime suspect. A protracted murder mystery with the killer's identity held out to the end is all too obvious and overacted by all involved. A modicum of atmosphere is provided by a never ending thunderstorm.
