Reviews
Deadline for Murder: From the Files of Edna Buchanan received a mixed but generally positive reception. The film holds a respectable rating on IMDb, where it scores 7.5 out of 10, indicating a favorable response from audiences who appreciated Elizabeth Montgomery's strong performance as the lead. Critics praised Montgomery’s portrayal for bringing depth and authenticity to the character of Edna Buchanan. However, some reviewers pointed out that the pacing and narrative structure felt somewhat formulaic for a crime drama of its era. While the movie effectively captures the tension and danger inherent in crime reporting, it doesn’t break new ground in terms of storytelling or cinematic innovation. No aggregated scores are available on platforms like Rotten Tomatoes or Metacritic due to the film's relative obscurity and television format. Nevertheless, viewers interested in crime stories with a journalistic angle found the movie engaging and informative, particularly as it draws from Buchanan’s actual investigative work, which adds a layer of realism to the proceedings.
