MIND OVER MURDER 1979 (PARAMOUNT)

A well made TV movie.

Lovely Deborah Raffin stars as Suzy, a fashion model who suddenly developes strange powers.

Those powers include watching events that haven't happend yet, and seeing a mysterious bald man (Andrew Prine) who is somehow connected to her.

Her boyfriend Jason (Bruce Davison) is too self absorbed to really care about Suzy, but Ben Kushing (David Ackroyd) from the ATSB takes notice of Suzy, especially when she recites the entire dialogue of pilots that were in a plane that was bombed.

Yes, it's a bizarre tale, but it works very well indeed. Raffin brings great life to her character and her final showdown with the bald man, whose name we never find out, is very well done and you find yourself rooting for her to kill the weird dude.

I don't really know why this film is so obscure except that it's made for TV and a lot of those have fallen thru the cracks of the entertainment world.

I really recommend this little thriller and hope you get a chance to see it. The rest of the cast includes Chris Cary, Robert Egland, Penelope Willis, Wayne Heffley and Paul Lukather.
