***SPOILERS*** Both complicated as well as ridicules murder for profit flick with the perpetrators as clueless and outrageous as the murder plot they concocted. There's so many sub-plots and characters in the film that you get lost almost as soon as it begins. That's with Marty Remington,Peter Dillion,getting arrested for the murder of a hooker he was seen with the night before. We never realize what exactly Marty has to do in the movie until it's more then half over which by then we've long, in his two or so minutes in the beginning of the film, forgotten all about him!
In the film the scheming and treacherous Carrie Remington, Boti Bliss, gets friendly with pretty but a bit stuck up Ashley Donnfield, Ashley Leggat, in first becoming her roommate and then getting to know Ashley's pop big time Philadelphia real estate magnet Richard Dunnfield, William R. Moses. Together with her parter in crime the just out on bail Anne Prieto, Cinthia Burke, Carrie plans to take the what seems like totally clueless, in what he's being set up for, Richard for a ride in getting their hands, by Carrie marrying and then dumping him, on his billions. In order to take care of a few loose ends Anne in giving her a ride in her cab to the airport knocks off Richard's ex Paula Wickless, Teresa Donovan, who got wind of her and Carrie's plan for her former husband Richard.
As for Ashley she soon realizes what her friend and roommate Carrie Remington is really up to but is helpless to stop it in Carrie keeping her away from daddy,Richard Donnfield, by first getting him drunk and then disconnecting his both cell and hotel phone at the place, the bridal suite, the two are staying in far off Cape May New Jersey.
The only thing that can save this turkey the ending is so dull and unexciting that you for a moment feel that the villain in the movie Carrie Remington or actress Boti Bliss realized just how idiotic her role was that she just gave up in order not to embarrass herself any more then she already did. As for Anne Prieto she seems to have just walked off the set since after murdering poor Paula Wickless and dumping her body on the side of highway,where it was later found by a homeless man, we never saw or heard of her again. Where also enlightened in just what Marty Remington has to do here in the movie! Which is getting himself arrested and sent up the river for a murder that both his wife at the time Carrie and Anne Prieto committed and framed him for.
the most fascinating and interesting thing in the film was actor William R.Moses as the clueless and and somewhat brain damaged Richard Donnfield. I started to wonder if Moses' acting was affected by his role as private investigator Ken Malansky in the Perry Mason made for TV movie series that he was in. Being known back then as the human punching bag in all the punishment the took could it have damaged his brain so severely that it caused him to be the lame and feathered brained Richard Donnfield that he ended up being here in the made for TV movie " The Prefect Roommate"!
