It was one of the seventies TV films that stayed with me, along with Darren McGavin's "The Challenge" and most of the ABC Movies of the Week.<br /><br />I've been looking for years for even a bootleg copy of "Last Hours Before Morning", but all I find is a copy of the script on IOFFER and other places. But I found one image of Ed Lauter as Bud Delaney.

SPOILER ALERT ! In a nutshell, the murder centered around an up and coming Hollywood starlet, played by Principal, who was hiding her African-American heritage. This was a very early appearance of hers, and makeup gave her a slightly exotic look. Much like real actress of the era, Acquanetta, whose own heritage is tough to track. Set in the post WW II forties, this would have been a big deal. Well done for a 70s TV flick, Lauter stands out.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02570604232981155426noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7527967.post-39055127876807589082012-09-19T14:48:39.165-05:002012-09-19T14:48:39.165-05:00Yes, I remember the movie fondly, but I've had...Yes, I remember the movie fondly, but I've had no success in finding it for sale on the Web.
