Into the Widow's Web

The plot was a good one - the actress (Liberty) coming to town with her alcoholic husband, she an old lover of Heath's and Heath being accused of murdering the husband. The actress can't believe Heath - now rich and privileged - could ever be convicted of murder. Brother Jarrod the lawyer defends and works on a way to get Heath acquitted despite a prosecuting attorney who is jealous of Jarrod's success. The casting and execution was the problem. Kathleen Nolan was too old for the part - six years older than Lee Majors, who was playing a young cowboy finding his way in a new life. With Nolan's age and Majors's inexperience, I just found it hard to accept Liberty as being Heath's contemporary, and Majors and Nolan just really didn't seem to get the chemistry necessary to carry the plot off well. I never believed they ever could have been lovers to begin with.

David Sheiner was good as the prosecutor who hates Jarrod personally. Sheiner always did play nasties well.
