Lethal Vows - Bis dass der Tod uns scheidet

even though "true stories" may be more compelling that others, this movie is incredibly sad, intriguing and possibly disturbing due to the plot. john Ritter (R.I.P) who did a fantastic job...would've loved to have seen him be "bad" more...portrayed the factual Richard Overton fantastically. not the kind of movie that becomes number one at a theater box office, but definitely something a local station could play and get men and women, alike, to be enthralled by. VERY good movie. agreed that its good to see little madeline zima grown up and doing a great job as a teen in dramatic roles. no outside info on the true story though...anyone?

John Ritter, in a sinister performance, as a Ph.D person who has poisoned 2 wives.

It is hard to believe that the ex-wife and current wife could have such an excellent relationship, but the story is well-told and Ritter's performance, his subtle ways, his slow but menacing talk, are all memorable. He really showed versatility as an actor in this film.

Nice to see Madeline Zinna,"The Nanny's" youngest charge, and Jessica Bowman, who starred in "Dr. Quinn-Medicine Woman." in teenage roles.

The women who play the wives are convincing and this movie should have been highly rated and emmy nominated.

This is the kind of movie that, in my opinion, is good from start to finish. It is cleverly put together and with the help of a talented group of actors, this is one of the better TV movies I have seen.

The plot is very unusual and interesting. One of the things that really struck me is that the crew must have done a lot of research in order for the story to be accurate. (I'm referring to the medication side effects.) A lot of hard work and excellent writing went into this production.

The actors perform exceptionally well. Especially John Ritter, who plays the evil David Farris. Marg Helgenberger comes very close to being as good as Ritter but there's no stopping him. Helgenberger plays the part of Ellen Farris particularly good also. The rest of the cast adds their two cents to make this not so typical family shine.

The writing, cast, and idea overall is phenomenal. With the luck that CBS will decide to air this again, be prepared because you never know who you may be dealing with.

I enjoyed Lethal Vows. It was evident that John Ritter's character was the antagonist from the start. We see and learn how dangerous and devious he was. He took advantage of the better nature of people and did away with people he had no use for anymore. John Ritter is a standout in this film and carries it well. He shows his great range and plays a dark and evil character very well. Like a light switch being turned each way, he easily alternates from doting father and good Samaritan to a dangerous figure who cannot trust.

What is shocking is this film was based on the true story. What a despicable and evil person Richard Overton was.

In all honesty I really liked this film, so much that i've seen it about 6 times. Yes, it's a cheap TV movie but it has good acting and a great storyline which should be as it is a true story. It's a sad, but very interesting story and never does it get boring. John Ritter(RIP) is great at playing the sleazy baddie. Not only is this film interesting but it's sure to teach you a few things about 'selenium' which is the 'killer' in this movie. A good film but I hope no viewers get any ideas in such a discreet way of killing another. Just watch it when it's next on and you will know what i'm going on about. A pure TV movie which I think everyone should watch!
