Il rapimento di Patty Hearst

I don't understand the low reviews. I won't say the acting is always stellar, but this does a very credible job of dramatizing the Patty Hearst kidnapping. And it's made in the 1970s so it has that indefinable 1970s feel to it the 1988 movie could never achieve.

Think of Helter Skelter from the 1970s, when made-for-TV movies were booming.

It focuses on FBI Agent in Charge Charles Bates, played by the always enjoyable to watch Dennis Weaver, and his investigation. Lisa Eilbacher is neither here nor there as Patty, but you're given enough of a sense of her ordeal.

This is before Patty's published account but, as the title suggests, it is sympathetic to her viewpoint. It. Worth a look.
