The Disappearance of Vonnie (1994) Reviews
The tittle speaks well where is and what happened to Vonnie
A great suspenseful thriller the acting is first rate and the plot keeps you guessing. This well performed and directed movie is based on a true story and well worth while Joe Penny is cast extremely well and Ann Gillian is convincing as the concernened and terrified sister. Joe again prove he's acting ability is amazing and the ending well done. It,s worth watching I hope they repeat it soon on any channel, I will definitely record it. For Penny and Gillian fans it's worth your time. Rent it if you can better still try to buy it I going to. Perfect early nineties thriller watch this movie it's great.
Nagging wife mysteriously goes missing
A man and his wife are not getting along because of the wife's jealousy and drinking problems. When the wife disappears, her sister begins a vigorous search involving the local police, state government, and a television crime show. What she finds out stuns the entire community. Good drama with lots of fine performances; based on a true story.
this is based on a true story
This is based on a true story that happened in Green Bay, Wi. Many items in the movie don't represent the real thing but the main story is true. I know this because I was friends with many of the original people from the true story. I was also part of the law enforcement group that was portrayed but at a later date then was in the movie. The home that the Rickmans lived in wasn't as nice as the one in the movie. I happen to know what the other house looked like and where it had been located, it is now not there. I would like to state that many of the people involved in this story we innocent of knowing what had been happening. Ron was very good at hiding things he didn't want anyone to know about. Vonnie was also a devoted mother to her daughter. She lived for her daughter.
Based on a true story, and there are a few
decent performances, including Ann Jillian, as Vonnie's sister, and Graham Beckel as Detective Broadhearst (look for him in "Jennifer 8" as the villain, and also in the more recent "Brokeback Mountain"). Joe Penny delivers a decent performance as Ron Rickman, a man who spent time in a hospital for the criminally insane, after shooting two men (it is never explained how, or why). It may have helped the story if the writer had delineated the characters a bit more. Alicia Witt and some of the other neighborhood teens belong to a youth group ("TOPS") which is run by Penny, apparently as an aide to the community, and to help teens become interested in positive community issues. Because Penny is believable as somewhat shady, and Gillian as the sister, the film holds some interest. The characterization of Vonnie is weak; a woman who smokes too much, and we just see her interaction with daughter Amy briefly, in the beginning of the film. Overall passable, not the worst we are being offered. I would rather watch this than a soccer mom who solves crimes, which is the latest attempted serial offered by LMN network. 6/10.
True Story Brought To TV Movie
Another true story starring Joe Penny and Ann Jillian. When her sister disappears she tries to find out the truth. Joe's character as Ron Rickman is brought to life and he tries to make everyone believe he is the one that has been left, he doesn't know where she could be. When questioned he cannot produce evidence that he says has been left behind by his missing wife. Add to this that a little girl has been left without a mother and the father tries to get a little too close to the babysitter then the twists and turns keep you guessing as to who could have done this to a mother and wife. Joe performance once again speaks for itself. Ann Jillian does great as the sister. Jos also adds a fear factor with Ann's character when she tries to question him and get answers.
