In Broad Daylight is a 1971 American TV film starring Richard Boone, Stella Stevens and Suzanne Pleshette. It was directed by Robert Day and written by Larry Cohen.

Plot

A blind actor comes up with an elaborate scheme to murder his wife and her lover.[1]

Cast

Production

Cohen thought "it wasn't a bad movie" except for the casting of Boone; Cohen felt Boone's face was so distinctive the concept of the film did not work. Cohen says there was some talk of remaking the film years later as a vehicle for Andrea Bocelli but it did not proceed because of concerns over Bocelli's acting ability. The film was executive produced by Aaron Spelling.[2]

Reception

Academic Tony Williams called the film "one of Cohen's most innovative works" despite the miscasting of Boone.[1]
