THE LAWYER - 1970 An out of town lawyer has to defend a doctor accused of murdering his wife. I have seen Barry Newman in a few things but this is probably the best role I have seen him in--it seems a good fit, more so that his driving movies. Harold Gould is memorable as the prosecutor. I was interested in it because of Diane Muldaur and even more so in seeking the tv pilot since Susan Howard takes over her part. It feels like a tv-movie except for the nudity which definitely gets your attention because we only see his wife from the neck down in close up and in the nude. She has her fans apparently--and she was a cult actress in the 70s. Since we hardly see her face in this--I may seek out one of her other movies so I can get a better look at her (above the neck).
