'Flashpoint', 1974


This one cracks me up!
Cannon does "Bad Day At Black Rock".

I love Ruth Roman in this one. The part where she says that whoever told Cannon about her son is out of a job-- to which he says the last he heard, the prosecutor was elected. He leaves and she just fumes. She is also very good in the scene where she burns evidence that would incriminate her son.

May I suggest - if you're a Ruth Roman fan, that you catch director Ted(Dirty Harry)Post's film: "The Baby".
A wonderfully twisted gem!

Thanks for the suggestion. Actually, I have seen THE BABY-- and I was thinking about it while watching this episode of 'Cannon.' Her appearance on 'Cannon' is only a year after she did THE BABY. She is excellent when it comes to playing domineering mothers.

When I wrote my earlier comments in this thread, I wasn't quite finished watching the 'Flashpoint' episode-- so I hadn't even gotten to the scene at the end where she helps bring her son to justice. What a performance!
