So, what's left: news reports to pull the story together. And Casey White, her lover, a convicted murderer, isn't to be trusted with his "version" of events (the Pizza-Sex scene). White's sad, mental state her side of the story. In this latter film: Vicky White, committed suicide when law enforcement closed in. In the former film: Mitchell and her lover, survived: we get both sides of their story pulling together the plot. Vicky White breaking out her prison-lover. Here, instead of Joyce Miller's prison-employed seamstress falling in forbidden love: we have Alabama, Lauderdale County Assistant Director of Corrections Lt. The cinematic - as well as real life - doppelganger, here, is the Lifetime Channel-distributed (uh-huh) New York Prison Break (2017) that film starred an incredible-in-the-role Penelope Ann Miller as Joyce Mitchell of the infamous New York's Clinton Correctional, Shawshank-style breakout. And, according to the IMDb: Prisoner of Love was produced for 1 million. Same business model: only, instead of VHS tapes and DVDs, it's direct-to-streaming. The business model is analogous to Paramount Studios getting into the home video business during the Blockbuster Video '90s, as the studio would front 1.5 to 2.5 million to produce original, low-budget content for the direct-to-video market. Yeah, there's some smart cookies running the show at FOX.
That Lifetime déjà vu is no accident: the production company shingle on Prisoner of Love is MarVista Entertainment, the distribution/studio behind those numerous Lifetime (as well as Hallmark and ION) films, as FOX purchased MarVista in December 2021. Now, when you read reviews on these Tubi-FOX produced films, reviewers namedrop cable TV's "Lifetime Network," so as to describe the production values and damsel-in-distress plot lines. Two years into the deal, by May 2022: Tubi announced their plans to bring 100 new, originals titles to the FOX-owned streaming service. How Tubi came to produce exclusive, original streaming content: In April 2020, FOX purchased the successful with-ad streaming platform, which has since grown to Smart TVs - as well as PCs and laptops. So, seeing Nicole Tom transition into an adult acting career (she's commendable, here) is the selling point with this "Tubi Exclusive" that premiered in December 2022. Susan Oliver also played murderess Edith Landers on Thriler, and later appeared as the evil Ellen Pritchard on Circle of Fear.So many child actors fall from grace.However, she started to work her charms on another officer during the transfer. Barney took over while Andy returned home, but once Andy returned to the station, he saw the villainess about to make her escape, and entered the station to see that the evil blonde conned Barney into helping her with the cell door's lock-only to end up inside the cell.Īt episode's end, the villainess was set to be transferred out of Mayberry, and appeared to be apologetic for her attempt to escape. With Barney on a date with Thelma Lou, Andy remained at the station and spent more time with the blonde, which saw them on the verge of embracing each other. After Andy arrived and took over, he took notice of the blonde, who also worked her feminine wiles on him as well.īoth Andy and Barney were enamored by the blonde during the episode's progression, so much so that they even prevented Otis Campbell from taking his nightly visit inside his usual cell. Barney decided to stay, and it was at this point that the blonde first appeared, with Barney quickly being charmed by the blonde villainess-who was described as a con artist and jewel thief. The nameless blonde is a criminal who was being transferred to Mayberry, with sheriff Andy Taylor and deputy Barney Fife attempting to decide who would remain at the station to watch their prisoner. The unnamed Female Prisoner (Susan Oliver 1932-1990) is the main villainess from "Prisoner of Love," episode 4.18 of The Andy Griffith Show (airdate February 10, 1964).
