Run a Crooked Mile (1969 TV Movie)
2/10
Chasing down conspiracies.
22 July 2022
Warning: Spoilers
A messy, convoluted and extremely tedious thriller about a school teacher (Louis Jourdan) who witnesses a murder after following the person who nearly ran him down the road, resulting in about an amnesia that lasts for 2 years. When he wakes up, he finds that he is supposedly married to Mary Tyler Moore and has a different name, and that an entire past has been created for him. He goes out of his way to get clues to what has happened, resulting in chases all over London and encounters with a sinister cartel like organization that has nefarious plans.

A great cast of some of the best character players in motion picture and stage history can't help put all the pieces of this nasty puzzle together. Alexander Knox, Wilford Hyde White and Stanley Holloway are among just a few, and after a while, the twists and turns of this pretentious TV movie began to put me to sleep. Moore plays a rather aggravating character because she really serves no purpose and I never quite trusted what she was up to, even when she began to come to the side of Jourdan's real identity. People are going to either love this or hate this, and I'm one of the few on the later opinion.
