Editorial Reviews

Brian Dennehy and Treat Williams star in "Deadly Matrimony," an explosive three-hour miniseries, inspired by a true story. A powerful attorney weaves a web of murder and corruption reaching the highest levels of the Chicago Police Department and Judicial System. On a chilly December afternoon, an automobile is hoisted out of the Illinois Sanitary and Ship Canal. In the trunk, police find the body of Dianne Masters (played by Embeth Davidtz), the beautiful young wife of a powerful local attorney, Alan Masters (Treat Williams). She has been brutally murdered several months earlier. This is the story of Dianne and Alan and the corrupt cops and judges he controlled. It is also the story of one honest detective (Brian Dennehy) who opened the door on a dark world of terrified women who feared they would meet the same fate.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Jack Reed Flick, November 15, 2004

The Watcher "Lilac" (Asheville, NC USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Deadly Matrimony Mini Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

To think about this type of criminal activity having a chance to exist is unexplainable. I don't understand the audacious mindset of a mob boss thinking he could "own" a city and its law enforcement ranks, but these circumstances are exactly what Jack Reed encountered. Treat Williams plays the role of Masters eerily well. Dennehy of course, is splendid in the role of Reed. He knows Masters is a murderer without remorse, but he also knows the corrupt department he works for is just waiting for him to make one false move...

4.0 out of 5 stars A good film, June 26, 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: Deadly Matrimony Mini Series [VHS] (VHS Tape)

This is a good movie about a brave cop. Brian Dennehy is terrific. And I think that the movie is fair to Alan Masters -- after all, he was convicted, along with two others. The stories in the movie are also in a couple of books about the case!
