Absolutely Fantastic
The film may be flawed, but its message is not.
The story, direction, characters, and writing/dialogue is akin to taking a tranquilizer shot to the neck, but everything else was so well done.
A woman from Idaho, diagnosed terminally ill, comes to San Francisco to live the remaining months of her life. While there she seeks a second opinion and learns that she is not dying after all. Things should be rosy, only while under the impression that she was near death, she put out a death contract on herself. After hearing the doctor's good news she then goes to the police for help to stop the unknown killer from fulfilling his end of the bargain. Average cop yarn.
"The Face Of Fear" (1971) is a terrific Made-For-TV movie/thriller with good performances by all. A great suspenseful music score by Morton Stevens - (Hawaii Five-0), especially the music he wrote for the film's conclusion.A Quinn Martin Production In Association With The CBS Television Network (1971)
