Thriller maybe from the 90’s
Hello, I’ve been trying to remember this movie for a long time. It’s not famous and I didn’t recognize any actor. I saw it long ago, one night that I was half asleep on the couch so I can’t give you much to work wit.It looked like something from the 90’s. The plot was about this girl, a college student, living a very private life (I remember clearly the scene where her friend tells her that she can’t just spend all her time studying and eating too much ice-cream and then go swimming to burn the calories, that she should try to live a little). Eventually (I don’t remember how, that’s probably the moment That I fell asleep X-D) She becomes the center of attention of a maniac stalker and she starts to work with the police to catch him. She also gets assigned a personal agent/bodyguard with whom she has a fling with. In the end they catch the guy but I don’t remember the details (again I was falling asleep). Now, I know it’s not much but I had to try because for some mad reason this has been obsessing me for years. I have these images of her swimming at night alone in the pool of the building, dark and ominous, it’s just stuck in my mind. I really hope someone will save me from my obsession.

Gaslighting widow until she confesses to murder
In the late 1950’s up to the late 1960’s (I think it was black and white, so I’m leaning to the earlier date), I saw a movie where the widow comes home to the huge mansion where she lived with her husband, only to find that all the servants, lawyers, etc., are claiming he’s still alive. I think they had a man pretending to be the husband. All through the movie, you feel so upset that she’s being tormented this way, gaslighted I’d call it, until, at the end, she’s so overwrought that she finally screams out that she knows her husband really is dead, because she killed him. That was the whole point of the setup—to get her to confess. It was a great twist, because you were on her side right until the denouement.
This movie was in colour on TV (possibly a freeview channel at the time) within about the last 10 years…
This movie was in colour on TV (possibly a freeview channel at the time) within about the last 10 years. Itwas about a woman who was married to a high profile politician (I think USA) with a small baby daughter. The woman’s mother-in-law blakmails her into faking her death by drowning because of an indiscretion. The film covers the woman’s life from then onwards ending up destitute and on the streets. Ill and dying, she ends up in court and is defended by her now grown up daughter, although neither knows who the other is. Her husband realises who she is as she lies dying in court and realises what his mother did. I thought the husband was played by Ken Howard but I cannot find it on his filmography. It’s driving me mad!!!!!
