The Victim (1972)
Directed by Herschel Daugherty
The Phone Is Not the Only Thing That’s Dead in Susan’s House! Elizabeth Montgomery (TV’s Bewitched, The Legend of Lizzie Borden) gives a brilliant dramatic performance in the nerve-jangling made-for-TV thriller The Victim. Well-to-do San Franciscan Kate (Montgomery) travels to her sister Susan’s remote home only to find Susan missing—and as a fierce storm rages outside, Kate’s night of terror begins. Eileen Heckart (The Bad Seed), Sue Ane Langdon (Frankie and Johnny) and George Maharis (The Satan Bug) co-star in this suspenseful tale of a dark and stormy night, expertly orchestrated by veteran television director Herschel Daugherty (Alfred Hitchcock Presents, Star Trek: The Original Series) and written by Merwin Gerard (TV’s The Screaming Woman) from a short story by McKnight Malmar.
