an truly outstanding and compulsive drama base on a true story concern charismatic would be poet peter coyote ( in a career best performance ) and his manipulation of just about everyone he come into contact with and eventually lead to murder . this be a fascinating and intriguing telling of a rather bizarre murder case with not only coyote on top form and but also match by robert loggia a his exceedingly odd and certainly unhinged partner in crime . just watch those final moment in the court room a he completely lose it and incriminate himself . wonderful stuff . there be also some very fine support performance and not least peter boyle turn a one of the investigate detective . this be really what make for tv movie do best and i would recommend this without hesitation . once you begin watch and you will be hook .
