फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
The "differentiator" for this show is that it's set as a period piece, though the writing isn't especially deft at pulling you into the time period and some of the details (such as prisoner's clothing) is likely incorrect for the period.
IMDb indicates that there are two more of these shows... and sure enough, even as I write this comment, the second "episode" of this "movie series" has started running on that over-the-air station. You can't help but think that this may have been an abortive (or unsteady) attempt to take these characters into a regular series.
Really, if you have the chance to catch it on cable or order it from your favorite DVD rental house, give this show a whirl. If nothing else, you'll enjoy seeing Harry Morgan (of M*A*S*H fame) playing a crusty old judge with a strange hate/pity relationship with Matthau's lazy-man attorney... good stuff!
The Incident is a really well-made movie. Director Joseph Sargent, still at it in his late 70s or early 80s, created memorable TV and theatrical films such as "The Marcus Nelson Murders" (to become Kojak), "The Taking of Pelham One Two Three", "Miss Evers' Boys", and "A Lesson Before Dying."
Walter Matthau plays his part well and the storyline has enough twists and turns to keep your attention up. Added to this is that there is a strong storyline that doesn't insult the intelligence too much and has elements of realism to it (although not quite sure how German POW's managed to make it to the USA from Germany)
Worth a look 7/10
William Schallert, the town cop and a family friend, ends up helping Mr. Matthau look for evidence of what happened the night the doctor was killed. They find out something shocking. Just as it's revealed the judge has a shocking agenda. But is the prosecuting attorney in on it, too? A well-done film that balances the events of a murder trial with a family dealing with the war on a very personal level.
