Prime Suspect (1982) | Full Movie 

I love how his secretary kept his family pictures while he was away.

Cant beleive they didnt have one friend between them who beleived he was innocent. True friends are a true blessing. 😢

Not bad for a TV movie. Thought-provoking. You can see how people still get accused of all sorts in this day and age.

That's why you never talk to the cops! Anything you say can and will be held against you!

Every time I see Mike Farrell while watching this movie I keep waiting for him to say "hawk, come here for a second and look at this" from his MASH days.

Other girls had already disappeared and they let the kids go around like that door to door?

Innocent or not always get a lawyer before you answer even one question....

Great movie. We won't get to see such movies now a days!

Ah, the days of no shoulder strap seat belts and kids riding in the front!

It always amazes me when a neighbor or so-called neighbor can turn on a dime and be an accuser and talk behind the back and yet turns chicken when it comes face to face. If it had been me, I would build a tall fence between me and the neighbor so he would remember what kind of back stabber he is. The news media is good for doing things like this and never have the KAHUNAS TO APOLOGIZE FOR JUMPING THE GUN and destroying a family.

It's amazing that people were saying that he murdered the little girl before it was even proven that the little girl was dead.

Great movie. watching is a pleasure. The content and acting is top notch. I am tormented by the question, why post a photograph of a detainee in a public space if the guilt is not proven? After all, this can break the life of an innocent person and his loved ones?!

He needed to get a lawyer right at the beginning. Just because you get a lawyer, doesn't mean you're guilty. A lawyer speaks for his client and can avoid a lot of misinformation.

If she was the 4th to be abducted then the stupid mother should have been with them! I never ever let my kids go walking off selling things even in our neighbourhood alone. 🤦‍♀️

This happens in real life.... The justice system is flawed🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️🤦🏽‍♀️

1:34:09 They're only happy he's back because he's the ONLY person in the office that actually does any work.

Thank you for the great movie. ❤

That ending would never happen without the real criminal being caught.

Wow. I’m never buying cookies again! Seems in all aspects of the law your guilty until YOU prove your own self innocent. Good movie 🎥

Police always trying to solve the case quickly

This movie shows the perfect American employees' friendship and also employers' friendliness - it doesn't EXIST, EVERYTHING IS FAIK, even a corps is much warmer .

There is a flaw in the coherence of this film. The accused man comes forward and tells the police that he met the young girl and bought cookies from her and they don't arrest him. A woman comes forward and tells the police that she saw him with the girl and they arrest for something he has already told them. Yet the woman tells them nothing more than the accused had already told them.

I saw him in vows of deception and he was outstanding - with Cheryl Ladd!

I can’t believe this guy talked to the police without a lawyer!

The music in this movie, as well as the actors brought me back in time...miss it. Today, if this movie had been made they would show the graphics of the acts and detail of the gore would be everywhere. This was so much better to not and it was a kind of happy ending to boot.

Very well done movie - and great acting! Much enjoyed, thanks for uploading.

A dumb story. He had photos of the property he photographed. But he doesnt show these to the police. All of a sudden he is not a suspect and goes back to work.

I hate it when movies or documentaries have very low volume. Good grief, most of us do not have sharp hearing.

It’s a travesty by simply speaking to a child you can be accused of ‘Situational Recklessness unto Homicide’ over a box of biscuits. The first rule to teach children fundraising is to stick to a specific perimeter TOGETHER, as well as, the adults pay attention to the situation and NOT gossiping (called ‘Situational Recklessness unto Negligence’). OMAIN

"...Because up until 2 days ago he was in the Vacaville penitentiary, probably for a crime he did not commit" . lmao

The media has even more power today, 40 years later.

If a cop knocks at your door, say nothing and get a lawyer!

it felt like this had some momentum. And with his car being similar to that in the womans memory of the girl getting into, we were wondering if there maybe a twist. He was in a bit of turmoil. Then, all of a sudden he see's the funny side of things, after confronting the farmer, and the whole film kind of melts. He goes home happy, that now he's taking things lighter, he goes back to work. And then the real killer is found, and things all align perfectly, hmm. maybe that's a theme- if you're innocent, don't become a victim, stay positive, live you're life, and things may just work out. Also, always stay in a group when selling cookies

Enjoyed this movie. Thanks.

Those neighbours are so cruel. It doesn’t matter what her dad did or didn’t do, she’s a child and they should have said hello back instead of ignoring her

There were already some earlier killings of girls in the area , but still they let girls go knock on strangers door to sell coockies. With the moms just sitting in the cars waiting. Why cant grownups go with them selling. Especially in the States so many missing kids. I would never let my young daughter go around alone and knock on random houses doors. And I live in Norway where very seldom kids disappear.

This was almost believable until I saw how happy he was to go back to work. 😭

The press or media shouldn't know anything about someone who is merely a suspect. They should only be provided information when an arrest is made and the DA believes there is enough solid evidence to indict.

If you close your eyes and just listen to the audio, the lead sounds just like Mr. Brady!!! I can't unhear it!

This script was written with the assumption that the police detectives are really stupid. From my life experience I can agree with that person completely!

This male actor looks like such a good guy. I love this actor.

because a women seen him with her and she gives a description of him to the police and the police say with have a pic of the kidnapper, thats bs

that guy needs a couple real good lawyers

Who knew that buying cookies can make you a suspect. 🤔

I'll say one thing - they certainly did capture the true press.*

That happen's too often to innocent people and it's a scar that they have for life . Very good movie .

Don't let your kids in the streets they said, bring them to school they said. They will be safe there they said

12:11 if it were me I would have just stayed out of it so then the cops would not have made me a suspect.

EXCELLENT movie... SUSPECTS DO GO THRU HELL ....often such a excellent side to tell....

I MISS THE GOOD OLE DAYS!!🙏🇺🇸💞✌

Mediocre movie with amateur one-dimensional acting, a very simple and inconsistent scenario and mostly extremely annoying high pitch music making it next to impossible to hear the voices. Out of 10 points I would give it a 3. But the theme is quite interesting.

I think before letting these girls go outside door to door, first they should be 2 together, then teach them how to be aware of any extra friendly male persons.actually they should know about how to keep themselves a very good distance from other strange people.

- What else do we want us to do? - Well, listen to my version, and broadcast it too. Equal time.

in today's cancel culture this happens in a second and is rarely straightened out. death by media with no retractions.

The case could have been closed if the cops simply asked that one woman about the actual murderer's car.

The detectives who persecuted Frank did not act in good faith. Nor did they act in the public interest. They were stupid and incompetent, true. But they were also malicious. There are too many cops like that in real life USA.

To make things worse those biscuits were bad for him 🐿️

I love how they walk in the house and just so happens the news with the exact story the are wanting is there. 🙄

So quickly how people sit in judegement of someone wiithout knowledge of the subject So much for the motto "Innocent until proven guilty " God bless the accused who were/are innocent 👍👍📽worth watching never know when it could be you or one of yours

This is how guilty before innocent truly works.

This is why we shouldn't have the death penalty. So many miscarriages of justice, witnesses can be unreliable, and some people will lie to get themselves off the hook, or just to harm someone they hate.

Farrell always seemed to struggle when trying to play straight roles.

He should have never contacted the stupid corrupt limited Police in the first place.

Though I am sure that this has been stated several times in the comments below, *THIS* is why you never, *EVER* answer a single question posed to you by the police without legal counsel to answer on your behalf.. *GREAT* movie, and so applicable to today's social climate, but COME ON--even in the 80s you didn't let your kid go wandering off to wherever, not even to sell Girl Scout cookies. And expecting **another child** to keep track of your child's movements?? It just didn't happen. Parents were too wary. I raised two kids back during this time, and even in the market, we kept them in sight at all times.. And I realize that this is "just a movie", but the way that the investigators rushed to judgment, and on such flimsy "evidence" as "Well, you WERE seen with the little girl"--so were other people. That proves nothing!!! And approaching him *AT HIS WORKPLACE* where everyone can see so that people can start leaping to all kinds wrong conclusions is SO completely against procedure!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! ABSOLUTELY NOT!!! "So you see our dilemma??"--yeah, your "dilemma" is that the police have a string of unsolved abductions and their backs are against the wall to produce "progress", even negative progress, if it gives them someone, ANYONE to feed to the media. This was lazy investigative procedures all 'round!!! And I positively *HATE* this nonsense movie stereotype of just dumping the contents of every drawer on the floor and calling it "a search of the premises".. And after all of the huffing and puffing, a disenchanted reporter ended up doing the legwork that the police *SHOULD HAVE DONE* right from the start. And as Staplin said, this is *why* in the U.K. your name may not be released to either the media or the public unless you are indicted..

The only things you should ever say to the police... What is your name and badge number? Am I being detained? If so, what crime do you suspect me of? If not, am I free to go? Am I under arrest? If so, what for? I'm invoking my right to remain silent. (you have to say this now instead of just staying silent) I want a lawyer. Then, STFU!

And of course, while the police were busy looking the wrong way, the real perpetrator was covering their tracks.

just a little flaw - he never had the cookie boxes when he came home???

THE MOVIE NEVER MADE ANY POINT OTHER THAN HOW SORRY LAW ENFORCEMENT & THE PRESS IS AND HAS BEEN FOR A LONG ASS TIME

Did I miss something here? They didn't find who did it yet. His one alibi, the farmer, goes south. He is still the primary suspect. There was an impending indictment and arrest coming at him, but suddenly he decides to be all positive thinking and good will, and everyone who was against him suddenly does a 180, based on what? What did I miss?

Used to be 4:3 in those days, even in 1990s. Similar were Computer monitors. Took time to move to 16/9 screen

Why do you let your kids sell whatever it maybe and not watch them like a hawk?why?her mom should have been with her the whole time.Instead she was sitting on her ass in the van.

Today the woman who bumped into them in the parking lot could be a child trafficker! Grandmothers and cute boys to lure girls in. They get paid and just walk away. The World is crazy

Who else also remembers using a camera like that?

Great film.

A feel-good movie with great performances by Farrell, Garr and Lane Smith It would sound better to erase the 80s SoundTrack

Very good Movie!

Teri Garr always Top Notch😊

30:13 why is he still talking to the cops without an attorney,? He should have called a lawyer before he went down there

Good movie but why didn’t he show them the photo he took by the lake?

Never forget Richard Jewell.

I’d stick by my husband all the way if this happened to him. “ Stand by Your Man “ , so to speak, and then sue the police and the media for everything ! It’s called defamation of character, and it’s illegal.

Always wanted to see this movie. RU-vid is great. 😅

In times of trouble them you know who’s your friends

That's a good look Barry!

All circumstantial evidence as far as I can see. They put two and two together and made six.

Hope they brought a law suit against the state of wherever and got millions and billions of dollars that would teach them a big lesson

In a setting of missing girl, no mother would let her young daughter out of her sight to sell cookies.

Good movie but no evidence or motive ..he admitted he talked to the cookie seller. It's just the time ...he talked to her leaving the building and that's it.

Truth will come out in the end Luv the movie 🎉

This movie ended with no results. the killer was still out there, and this guy didn't have an alibi. i retired from the prison system, and many child rapist are the nicest people you would ever want to meet, and even have as a neighbor. Children don't gravitate to scary people, they have to appear loving and normal. A PHD we worked with went to prison for raping his children. He was intelligent, handsome and educated. A psychiatrist killed her four year old daughter then threw her in the garbage can. These were staff, not inmates.

This movie would have only lasted 20 minutes if he would have followed the wisest advice ever….NEVER speak to the police without a lawyer. They are not your friends. If they want to talk to you it is because they think they have something on you.

Our society some times can be soo cruel and unwilling to be understanding... one must always dig deep into the truth before criticising someone of any wrong doing... but sadly our society prefers to take the short cut ... and blame someone totally innocent 😢 But a true GOD fearing man will never do that. Thanks for sharing this movie

The only crime in this movie was the acting

He was lame on MASH.

..20:21 the building number above the door looks like "arse"😄..thnx for the free movie

My God. Poor man and his family. Thank God they caught the real killer. These Eopleshoild really think about how they judged a person without a shred of evidence.

i love teri garr

Not only Frank gets a flat tire once in while but he sure likes to switch his wheel covers and hub caps around.

Mrs Richards: "I paid for a room with a view !" Basil: (pointing to the lovely view) "That is Torquay, Madam ." Mrs Richards: "It's not good enough!" Basil: "May I ask what you were expecting to see out of a Torquay hotel bedroom window ? Sydney Opera House, perhaps? the Hanging Gardens of Babylon? Herds of wildebeest sweeping majestically past?..." Mrs Richards: "Don't be silly! I expect to be able to see the sea!" Basil: "You can see the sea, it's over there between the land and the sky." Mrs Richards: "I'm not satisfied. But I shall stay. But I expect a reduction." Basil: "Why?! Because Krakatoa's not erupting at the moment ?"

I keep hearing Don Henley’s “Dirty Laundry” while watching this ...
