    I was a producer of this film, and writer of both the screenplay and True Crime book "Citizen Jane" that it is based on. When the casting director phoned me and asked "what do you think about Meatloaf for the homicide detective," I jumped on the chance. He phoned me a week later to ask how to play the character and I told him the real detective was a great interrogator because he never talked "me talking ain't the point" was the key line in the screenplay and film. He fumbled around like Columbo. But let me respond to a few comments here - a number of folks said there are "mistakes" in the script because cops would never let Jane and her boyfriend Tom view the crime scene and "touch things" and contaminate it. They never touched anything in the film, but that's EXACTLY what they did - tour the scene to look for anything missing and clues to Gertrude's activities. But it's even worse - I left out what the first cop really did. San Jose PD was short on officers on their night shift, so he let Jane and Tom SPEND THE NIGHT IN ANOTHER BEDROOM that was not part of the crime scene. That's correct. And it was during that night - after Jane pointed out the check registry was missing from her Aunt's checkbook - that Tom replaced it. And that's what hung him - when a 2nd photographer arrived the next day and re-photographed the entire scene, the checkbook had been moved slightly and another detective - who did not confer with the first - reported the checkbook was normal. IT'S NOT LAW & ORDER - cops make mistakes all the time. The real detective in this case compensated for the mistakes of others - and that's how Meatloaf played him. Years later, that brilliant detective put all these complex pieces together and compared everything from e very investigator the preceded him. We call them the Super-cops, and he was one of them..

      I think this was a compelling movie and have watch it a few times.. By the way my father was a cop in san jose and i was born there although he died well before this crime and I didn't remember it. I would have liked to see more of the behind the scenes detective work.. For instance when they first found the rag stuffed down her throat and then the part about the handy man . He later tells Jane he was in Monterey but he had told her he cashed a check a few hours after the murder.. Also the 1st detective didn't do much of a follow up.. Many must have thought she knew the murderer and it was not a robbery.. Also the detective thinking that prompted him to start investigating the LA connection.. It is interesting how someone could kill a women that he knew and was the woman that raised Jane. And then go to her house like he had just gotten back from a trip. You are right this detective was brilliant . Anyway a movie worth watching

      Since you did this movie about SJ you may want to look into the kidnapping of Brook Hart in 1933 in San Jose My aunt and many mothers and fathers of friends not only knew the kidnappers but also knew Hart They were quickly caught and that night a mob formed and hung them in Saint James park The Gov said Good Job boys..

      Agreed, all actors excellent.
      May MEATLOAF rest in peace. He too was an amazing singer and an amazing actor.
      This world has a lot of "actors" in it that we all, maybe by chance encounter or just living and growing up, run into. Thank God for these true stories which shed some light on the darkness always brewing, that we may never have known but by the grace of God.

I sold it to CBS, then Court TV - the same years they all went out of the movie business. It was an unlikely buy at Hallmark because they never did a True Crime/True Life Movie, but they loved it so much they wanted to take a risk. They gave me more freedom and control than any writer/producer could ask for. They were great.

Salute to the resolve of Jane to beat all the odds and have, in a sense, justice 'served'..."in a sense"--- because nothing would bring back the august Gertrude. The real life 'Jane Alexander' disentangled several homicide cases...that is remarkable ! Also, I completely agree with Sarah and Maureen (below) ! An engaging movie !

      It has however to be ensured that the murderers can't profit in any way from that.
      That's the reason why I don't like it when prisoners sell their stories resp. film or book rights and give interviews - and the huge amount of people who pay for it.
      I've heard that judges mention in the sentences that the defendant must not make any profit from their criminal actions and that any profit has to go into the restitution but I don't know if this is a kind of standard in courts.

      Criminal justice is even more criminal when public defenders make plea bargains that put innocent people--usually Black--into jail for a lesser crime they did not commit, because they don't think they'll be found not guilty. I loved this movie and was happy with the ending, but better a hundred guilty people go free than one innocent person be found guilty.

    make her reveal the location and identities of WWII freedom fighters.
    It's so much easier to fold and give up when things go against you. These two women got the strength and resolve
    , God only knows from where or how they kept fighting when everything went against them.

I have lived through a pow exp, & I have to tell you, we can bare more than we realize, then we feel GOD'S shelter in HIS wings, & HE gives you the next breath & the ability to make the next step! A really great homicide detective worked with me on my sisters murder. Coroner insisting it was an od! SHE DIDN"T LIKE DRUGS! 1 Detective listened to me, though he couldn't technically make a case without the Coroner starting it, he promised to keep his head up & looking into as he could. Coroner was a jerk & refused to even acknowledge she had severe defensive wounds all over her that hadn't been there a couple hours before when Mom left her apartment, 1 am & she was headed straight to sleep after a long day! Shortly the Detective called me to say another women died the same way in the apt below my sisters, & now they had him! He was able to add my sis in & be on the case! We had a ton of info we dug out of my sister's apt that aided them a bunch. The landlord had said the guy who lived below my sis was responsible from the beginning! It was actually 3 people that we knew of, a team that deliberately got easy to manipulate people addicted to heroin, etc & then force them to do fraudulent returns for more drugs. Only they kept shooting them up with bad dope. My sis definitely didn't do needles, but had talked with me the day before about these really nice people that were having her babysit their kitten, & were trying to talk her into trying shoving needles, the conversation ended with NO WAY! You fight like hell not to let that crap get put in you, she did GOD BLESS her! We didn't find the kitten, but for some reason they had moved in a bunch of boxes between when Mom dropped her off & a boyfriend found her dead body around 4am. We found a ton of evidence to give cops on their schemes & involved extended family members locations! Mom & I worked on it for months! Then Detective called ton say he was dead! That Detectives attitude actually helped a great deal to bare the pain of loosing her so horribly! We had spent a long day together just hours before. 4th of July wonderfully blessed time with her singing " This little light of mine, I am gonna make it shine" in her beautiful 4 octave voice, while all my kids were doing their sparklers! She fought hard, then was with JESUS immediately! No one could ever hurt her again!

    Damn good movie!! Thanks for sharing it...people watch yourself, don't love blindly and keep your money and finances to yourself, even from family members...be humble , prudent and simple..let people think you are poor...Not worth getting killed for some dollars😔

      Hi Lisa, I hope you are doing well. I'm sorry, but I have crazy question...Do you visit Long Beach by any chance? My wife is swearing to me that she has seen before but she can't pin point where she might remember you from? If you can just say yes or no - I'm sure it would give my wife peace to know she isn't going crazy lol...Thanks, God bless!

    It was a good crime mystery !
    First time I got to see Meat Loaf act. He did a great job acting as the police investigator.
