Patzer
During the car chase when the sheriff and deputy are chasing the sheriff's son the flashing lights on the chase car are on in the long shots but not in the closeups of the sheriff or when the cars stop after the son is forced off the road. In the initial chase the sheriff and deputy are racing down the winding road without their siren on.

A Potentially Interesting Series

Ossie Davis is the Sheriff in a small town. When Brenda Sykes is raped, he finds the guy soon enough. But can the DA get a conviction? And can Davis keep his stepson and Miss Sykes' father from taking the law in their own hands?

This TV movie was clearly intended as the pilot for a series that never came to be. With Ruby Dee playing Davis' wife, Kaz Garas his deputy, it clearly intended to confront the issue of "quiet racism" and its not-so-quiet violent outbreaks. It's good to see Davis in one of his serious roles, portraying the strength he was capable of. But it was not to be. With Edward Binns, Lynda Day George, and Moses Gunn.
