Rehearsal for Murder (1982) TV Movie

Bekkah:

My favorite part about this (besides baby Jeff) was how it had not one, but TWO Boy Meets World actors! Mr. Fee-hee-hee-hee-ny and Mr. Matthews! Sadly it was Mr. Matthews who was the murderer (spoilers! but no one else is ever going to watch this movie, so no big). This movie was so slow. I feel like it started in 1982 and just now finished in 2023. Is my attention span that bad? Maybe! It took forever to find out who the murderer was, but it wrapped up in a neat little box, just like you would expect from a TV movie. Jeff’s hair was luscious!

Danya:

Whatever happened to made for tv movies? Do they still exist? Is that basically what Netflix movies are now? I wonder what the last made for tv movie even was. Anyway, this particular made for tv movie was definitely a play originally and leaned into the play within a play within a play inception (plays all the way down). Jeff is adorable and the 80s were whack.
