Downpayment on Murder (1987)

Ben Gazzara has played far better roles than in this 1987 film.The film is basically uneven because you would think that it would concentrate on Gazzara's drugged out daughter from his first marriage along with her boozy friends.

***SPOILERS*** Pretty good made for TV murder mystery that has a man driven to murder his wife because she's can't take his schemings and wheeling and dealing at his job as a real-estate salesman. The scheming just about bankrupted both her as well as him.

Not a bad little film, this one turned out more than I thought it would be. The story has a lot of Hitchcock in it: aggressive man gets kicked out of the house by his wife, then turns against her and eventually plans to murder her.
