What a waste of my time!!!
Myron Clemons
A film of deceptively outspoken contemporary relevance, this is cinema at its most alert, alarming and alive.

Great example of an old-fashioned, pure-at-heart escapist event movie that doesn't pretend to be anything that it's not and has boat loads of fun being its own ludicrous self.

I was searching youtube for made-for-TV mysteries one night and came across this little 1970's ABC mystery.It begins innocently; a little girl gets dropped off at her house and wanders inside... and suddenly all hell breaks loose when the girl discovers a ton of blood all over the kitchen. She goes to the neighbors and a police investigation begins to find the girl's mom... but Marian was not the most faithful of wives.Not only was the mystery intriguing but the acting was excellent, especially for a TV movie. I loved the title credits' originality and the soundtrack. Check this underrated little movie out with All the Kind Strangers (1974) and The Little Girl Who Lives Down the Lane (1976), you won't be disappointed.

I am dying to see this film again but cant find it anywhere and everyone i ask about it gives me blank looks! Mommy i'm home is the opening line, and what follows has stuck in my head for 38 years! just goes to prove that this era produced some of the best entertainment around! the bloody hand print on the fridge, the mess in the kitchen, all simple stuff by todays standards but left a much bigger impression on me than some of the rubbish that passes for entertainment nowadays! I was only 6 years old when i first saw this film so i didn't really appreciate Janet Leigh's professionalism and beauty until i watched Psycho much later, i then realised the similarity between the two films! if the powers that be are reading, please release this on DVD!

I would have to agree that Janet Leigh looks very beautiful in this movie, but I hope that people also notice how great of a performance she gives. This character gives her the chance to play a much more seedy part, and she plays it to the hilt. I don't want to take away from the other great things about this movie because there are many. The plot was great, most of the actors were very good, and the use of flashbacks was COOL! The script was quite racy for a TV movie of that time. House on Greenapple Road still holds up watching it today, and many believe it is one of the better made for TV movies.

I started watching this made for TV film partly because Janet Leigh was in it. I was surprised that it turned out to be a pretty good TV movie. Leigh plays a cheating wife who disappears and the men who she has been having affairs with come into question as her possible abductor/murderer etc. This film spun off into the Dan August TV series. Dan August is the plain clothes police officer assigned to crack the case and find the missing Janet Leigh character. Overall an entertaining picture. Janet Leigh looked good in a white bathing suit by the way.
