The Corpse Had a Familiar Face is a curious blend of crime and journalism wrapped in a tight TV movie format. Elizabeth Montgomery shines as Edna Buchanan, channeling a gritty, no-nonsense vibe that really captures the essence of Miami’s underbelly in the ‘90s. The pacing feels just right – it doesn't rush, allowing you to soak in those atmospheric moments, especially the city’s moody night scenes. There’s an interesting focus on the complexities of crime reporting, which gives it a unique edge. While the practical effects are a bit limited, the performances, especially Montgomery's, really carry the film. It’s not just about the mystery; it’s about the world these characters inhabit.
