Director: Philip Leacock
Cast: Cloris Leachman, Ross Martin, Louise Latham, Dabney Coleman, Ron Feinberg
Dying Room Only © 1973, Package Design © 2009 Warner Bros. Entertainment Inc. All rights reserved.
Acres of burning desert. A rundown diner. Hostile, close-mouthed locals. And an upscale L.A. couple just passing through. It’s the perfect setup for suspense. Eight-time Emmy Award® winner Cloris Leachman leads a stellar cast that includes Ross Martin, Ned Beatty and Dabney Coleman in a smart, lean chiller scripted by acclaimed sci-fi/fantasy writer Richard Matheson (I Am Legend). The story follows Jean Miller (Leachman), whose husband (Dabney Coleman) disappears after they stop at the dusty crossroads diner. No one – not even the sheriff (Dana Elcar) – will help her. So Jean desperately begins her own investigation, one that leads her straight into an ingenious web of mystery and murder.

from New York on 5/20/2010Comments about Dying Room Only (Remastered, 1973 TV) (DVD):
Warner's limited edition of this mini-classic TV movie is a welcome substitute to the outdated VHS editions (which are difficult to find). Good performances and tense atmosphere dominate this low-budget thriller, in which Chloris Leachman (superb performance) loses husband Dabney Coleman in a dumpy roadside cafe in the desert. The print is clean and sharp, but not exceptional, and there are no extras, interviews, or commentary, as with all of the Warner Archive editions. For those who have been searching, I'd say pick this up, but go to the Warner's site, and not other vendors (where it will be more costly). The DVD played fine on all three players on which I loaded it, so I can't anticipate any buyers having issues with play-ability.

from Las Vegas, NV on 1/19/2010Comments about Dying Room Only (Remastered, 1973 TV) (DVD):
One of the best, and creepiest, TV movies of the early 70s...Cloris Leachman is great in the lead role, and all the supporting cast is just as good. It definitely builds a great sense of paranoia....bravo to writer Richard Matheson, yet again, for a great story.
