For Love of Olivia

In this sequel Lou Gossett Jr returns as small town lawyer Daniel Stewart in the mid south of the 1960s. This time he is running for Congress and seems to be doing well. When the wife of the incumbent Horton Roundtree is found murdered, Stewart returns to the law to defend the suspect who is a poor black carpenter, who was seen running from the Roundtree house in the middle of the night.

As the trial approaches, people are unhappy that Stewart has seemingly turned his back on politics and during the trial dark secrets emerge such as Mrs Roundtree preferring black men and Stewart's own wife is somehow linked to Horton Rowntree due to a past indiscretion.

Lou Gossett was a producer and star of this tepid and dull television movie. It might had been a labour of love for him but came across as absurd and stupid to me.
