Along Came a Spider

A cool, talky 70s TV thriller that tightens like a wire as a grieving woman's elaborate lie pulls everyone into her quiet, methodical revenge.

She blames another scientist, not only for the murder but also for taking credit for her husband's groundbreaking work. When she can't prove her husband was murdered, she spins a web of intrigue and deceit that results in the suspected scientist being framed for another murder that never actually happened.
