Genres: Thriller
Rating:

Adapted from the one-act play by Hugh_Whitemore, Pack of Lies originally aired as a "Hallmark Hall of Fame" presentation on April 26, 1987. Emmy-nominated Ellen_Burstyn plays a Canadian housewife living in England, who dutifully allows a government agent (Alan_Bates) into her house. The agent sets up a surveillance post in Burstyn's bedroom, ostensibly to keep close watch on a mysterious stranger. In truth, the agent is investigating Burstyn's neighbors Daniel_Benzali and Terri_Garr--who happen to be her best friends. Pack of Lies was based on a true story, which like its fictional counterpart coalesced into a melange of skewered ethics, deception and betrayal. Hal Erickson, Rovi
