The Gun in Betty Lou's Handbag Reviews
Nice Surprise
I'm channel surfing trying to find something to get me through morning coffee and settled on this movie simply because the title interested me. The review by Inkslinger is perfect so I won't go through all the particulars again. I enjoyed this little film and will eventually buy it.
Betty Lou's coming out tonight
Although it has its good points, this film is generally of the quality of a made-for-TV film--not something I'd recommend buying or renting.
Betty Lou is a librarian who's not getting the attention she wants and arguably deserves from her police officer husband. He's more interested in his work than her.
There's a murder in their town involving a travelling man who's having an affair with a local married woman.
Betty Lou (with her dog) happens to discover the murder weapon. To gain attention she proclaims herself the murderess. Betty Lou, of red hair, is a sympathetic character and it's fun to see her snub all the interrogating male cops (including her husband) who take her for granted. She also befriends a local prostitute while in jail and otherwise asserts herself as she hasn't before.
It's not all fun, however, for there are some southern Mafia characters about led by a particularly evil man named Bodine (how original). There are a few scenes of gratuitous violence that were a big turn off.
The climax is somewhat improbable but something you might expect in a TV movie.
Also, there's a scene in a country bar where the singers (names unknown) recreate faithfully the great Gram Parsons/Emmylou Harris duet of "Love Hurts."
