Deadly Matrimony (1992) Review

To think about this type of criminal activity having a chance to exist is unexplainable. I don't understand the audacious mindset of a mob boss thinking he could "own" a city and its law enforcement ranks, but these circumstances are exactly what Jack Reed encountered. Treat Williams plays the role of Masters eerily well. Dennehy of course, is splendid in the role of Reed. He knows Masters is a murderer without remorse, but he also knows the corrupt department he works for is just waiting for him to make one false move...

Kellie Martin shines in this fine adaptation of the story of the young Catholic Polish teenager who put her life on the line to save the Jews in her country. Faced with incredible odds, she trusted God to deliver them, and He answered her prayers.
The ensemble cast is magnificent, and what was really nice about the film was the fact that it was not very explicit in the violence against the Jews. You saw a few minor scenes, but it wasn't the point of the movie, anyway. If you want really explicit scenes, there's always Schinder's List, but that was a different story.
This is a really nice teaching tool for your older children, and provides a launching pad for a dialogue on the Holocaust.
Highly recommended!!!

I read the book, found it interesting and then wanted to see the movie.
They did a good job telling the true life story of Charlotte Fedders and her life as a young woman growing up in Towson, Maryland and the limitations on women in the 50's, 60's and 70's before equal rights for women.

I remember seeing this on tv about 10 years ago. It was well written and Kellie Martin was perfect for the role of the people pleasing young girl. It was based on a true story of a girl who marries young and winds up being physically and verbally abused by her spouse. It is a very violent movie. I don't think anyone under 13 should watch it, but it is so realistic. Abuse can happen to anyone, even a policeman's daughter. The way to help prevent abuse is to realize that it can happen to anyone and to pay attention to the warning signs. I think parents should watch this movie with their kids once they start dating. My thanks to Kellie Martin who is so passionate about doing movies that are able to impact lives for the better. I am glad she is so wise and caring, she really has made a difference in my life.
P.S. For Kellie Martin fans...I just found out that Life Goes On will be released on dvd in the summer of 2006! It's about time!!!!!! I hope they will eventually release all four seasons of LGO, the most wonderful tv show ever.
