After All These Years

On the night of their 30th wedding anniversary, Audrey's husband confesses to being in love with another woman and wanting a divorce. The couple separate over the summer and he ends up dead back in their house where Aubrey finds him and is then accused of being his murderer.

Before they can lock her up for murder she decides to find out who really did it in this comedy murder mystery. Audrey Brandon has two really great friends who know she's innocent and pop in and out of this farce. There is an older detective on the case who has a comical but antagonistic way of conversing with Aubrey.

This was a whodunnit solved by a highly motivated amateur sleuth. She looks into the last few years of her husband's life where she encounters characters like his former partner the reclusive and Paranoid Artie...and discovers that there was another mistress!

"My life had been turned in to a combination of every bad TV movie ever made." The narration was great and gave it an old fashioned gritty film noir feel.

The lawyer, Joey Lilac, and his dog...the not so tiny, Tiny were great. But the star of the show was Wendie Malik. It is wonderful to see fun roles like this were older women get to be the stars. She was beautiful, funny and she knocked it out of the park. I also enjoyed seeing Gregory Harrison in more of a romantic role.

"You not killing Michael might be the best thing that's ever happened to me." -Larrabee.

"Innocent? Like Lizzy Borden? I'm a podiatrist and you are turning me in to an accessory!"...funny!

This was fun and funny, not the usual Hallmark fare. I highly recommend you watch it.

What a refreshing departure for Hallmark! Kudos for casting an older woman as the main star of the movie. On top of that, the storyline is fun and engaging. Wendie Malick is good in all her movies. There are a lot of roles in the movie which makes it a bit confusing to follow but it's still enjoyable. Give it a try!

i saw this as it was on an afternoon television schedule. i have just started watching afternoon television films and i can say most of them are OK but they may lack a strong storyline or recycle an overused plot. now, i wasn't excepting to enjoy this film as much as i did. it is better than most Hollywood films because it isn't over the top. it is kind of down to earth... i think 6.0 rating is too low it should be 7.0 at least. the movie has good energy, its one of those films which will make you have a good feeling while watching unlike most mysteries which are miserable. the ending is unpredictable to most, so i can say its worth watching till the end. acting is OK, mise en scene is great too. it is a movie to see if you are looking for entertainment.

This Hallmark comedy thriller pays tribute to Billy Wilder.

Audrey Brandon (Wendie Malick) is celebrating her 30th anniversary with her businessman husband Michael who later confesses to cheating on her.

He leaves her for a younger maneater Christine. A few months later Audrey finds her husband dead in her kitchen with a knife sticking out.

Audrey wonders what her husband is doing dead in the kitchen when he had left her. The police treat Audrey as the main suspect especially as her finger prints are on the knife as she tried to pull it out.

Audrey goes on the run as she tries to clear her name. She contacts her late husband friends and associates.

Audrey suspecst Christine who has a thing for rich older men. To Audrey's surprise she learns that her husband always cheated on her.

After All These Years is mildly diverting thanks to Wendie Malick's energy. She makes the movie much better than it should be.

It is a little daft and corny as Audrey goes through the suspects but it is a surprise that the cops did not catch her much earlier.

As a fan of Wendie Malick, I was definitely interesting in watching this Hallmark film. She plays a woman (Audrey Brandon) whose estranged husband is found murdered in her house. When she becomes the prime suspect, she decides to go on the lam and solve the crime herself. As a fan of television crime shows, she figures it shouldn't be very difficult.

Malick does a good job and the tone of this film is kept light. She provides some voiceovers, presenting the action from her point of view.

The rest of the cast is adept at mystery with a light touch. My favorite is Ona Grauer, who plays the part of Christine Boll, a woman with ambiguous intentions.
