A Desperate Hour by John Graham

[william warren]

Two criminals on the run from the police decide to lie low in an ordinary family house, holding the occupants hostage.... after all Humphrey Bogart did it in The Desperate Hours. However, what appears simple on film is seldom so in real life, particularly if the occupants of the house are not as ordinary as it would first appear.

One night in the seventies, the gods of NYC local TV programming
gave us a double feature:  "The Desperate Hours" and "The Incident".
I still have post-traumatic stress from watching them.
