I watched the movie and I am very disappointed in the way they portrayed Cinnamon and the others in the movie. My uncle is Richard and the way the showed him and David Brown in the movie is nothing to the truth about what happened. Cinnamon was a good kid that only did what her dad told her to do. David Brown was a very manipulative and cruel man. I cant believe they did such an awful job when making this movie. The book by Anne Rule "If You Really Love Me" was perfect to the whole story. If you want the truth detail by detail then read the book. I can only say the the movie tells a little bit about what happened but nothing about the movie is believable. I know Cinnamon wherever she is probably saw this movie and couldn't believe how they made the movie. If your gonna make a movie about a true incident then you should make it to where its believable

Love, Lies and Murder, released for TV in 1991 is about the hideous case of a murder that happened in Garden Grove, California. On March 19, 1985, Linda Bailey Brown was murdered while she was asleep in her bedroom at home. David Brown, Linda's husband, is not at home at the time of the crime, but his daughter and sister-in-law are. David Brown is an evil person, as well as a master manipulator. He manipulated Cinnamon (his daughter from a previous marriage) by having her pull the trigger, and having Patti (his sister-in-law) be an accomplice to the crime. David is also the type of person who didn't care about anyone else but himself and showed no regard for his family. It was also so sick of him to get his sister-in-law pregnant shortly later on, then they get married and end up abusing the insurance money that they live on (by being extravagant). Horrible man!! I have seen this movie many times and every time I see it, I have a lot of anger towards David for plotting this crime. He thought (in his own mind, of course) that Linda wanted to have him killed so that she could take over his business and money. What a bunch of crap that is!! Linda would never have done such a thing. A person like David does not deserve to be out in society; the man will obviously stay in prison until his dying day. Poor Patti and Cinnamon; David just manipulated them. Clancy Brown, who played David, is a great actor and Moira Kelly, who played Cinnamon, was great in her role as well. Sheryl Lee (who played Patti) was great, too. Acting is superb. This movie needs to be out on DVD soon, instead of being confined to cable TV.

This movie holds your interest from start to finish. The whole time I am watching this movie I was just in utter disbelief that these events actually happened. Again, the truth is always much more entertaining than fiction. Worth a look see.
