Or perhaps just attempted killer. He's a philandering husband who is obviously a serial cheater, shown purchasing flowers to meet up with his wealthy wife (Lois Nettleton) after ending a brief tryst before he gets on a plane to Mexico at LAX. when she sees him philandering at a party at their vacation spot, she decides to divorce him and tells him she will not leave him any of her money. He decides to kill her by arranging for her car to crash, but instead, she ends up with amnesia and the doctors identify her as the secretary she had hired who just arrived. If this isn't convoluted enough, he decides to hang around, seemingly either to romance her to win her back or at least win back her money or possibly kill her for real.
While still one of the most handsome veteran stats around in the late 1960's, Granger certainly isn't the romantic lothario of the 1950's, yet he seems to be able to seduce much younger women at will. Lois Nettleton gives a strong performance as the cheated on wife, and Katy Jurado is strong as the Mexican inn owner who befriends her. But Joseph Campanella offers giggles with his supposed Mexican accent that sounds more South American, and even then, it's ridiculous to picture him playing a Hispanic character. the scenery is gorgeous, but the script is pedestrian, and in the end, that makes this television movie of the week instantly forgettable.
