Really sad stuff. Sorta. It was a two-part movie with Meredith Baxter playing Betty. She was FLAWLESS in that role. Stephen Collins, who played Dan, also was very good--a tall handsome confident debonair lawyer. Christian Slater and Amanda Peet are woefully miscast. She's too thin and manic and Slater looks like a tiny weasely lawyer who nobody would kill to keep! 5 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6134903

Stephen Collins, who played Dan, also was very good--a tall handsome confident debonair lawyer. There were two different movies. The first one came out in March 1992 and was about the lead up to the murder. My understanding was the first movie did very well ratings wise, so they decided to do a sequel. The second movie aired in November 1992 and was about her two trials. You can tell there wasn't meant to be a second movie because the first one ends with a written epilogue discussing the trials and their outcome.

Christina June 23, 2020 Share June 23, 2020 This is a 5:30 video taken when filming of the first movie had started. Meredith makes a comment that really hit me. She talks about learning about Betty to play her in the show and wondered if things would have turned out differently if Betty had something else in her life, other than being a wife and a mother. This is a sixteen minute video by a psychologist who discusses the case. 1 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6197253

Ironic, isn't it, that Stephen Collins played Dan, given that Stephen Collins was later accused of inappropriate conduct with minors. I also really appreciated the video by the psychologist, Dr. Grande. He brought up Betty possibly having Borderline Personality Disorder, which is what I keep thinking. BPD wasn't as widely diagnosed or understood in the '80's, but I do think it fits. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6197310
Christina July 17, 2020 Share July 17, 2020 A 5:21 interview with Slater and Peet. Peet mentions the sexism in that time period and how Betty's contribution to the family was not given the appropriate consideration in court and Slater says that Dan received a sadistic pleasure in how he treated Betty and how he felt justified in his behaviors. In my opinion, that can be said for all three of them, Dan, Betty and Linda all received a sadistic pleasure in how they treated each other and they all thought they were justified in their behaviors. 4 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6234166

On a shallow note, props to both Peet and Slater challenging this outstanding interviewer on her opening line opining about her "remembering this case when it happened".🤣 1 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6252763

MilkMachine June 22, 2021 Share June 22, 2021 I know the thread title is "Beyond the LA Times," but this story in the LA Times is really the only way I've been able to make sense of what I've just watched. To watch this series, Betty was as model of charm and composure both publicly and privately up until the time she began to suspect Dan's affair with Linda. This did not ring true to me; I get that things escalated quickly past a certain point but based on my (limited) experience there is usually some kind of precedent before an escalation. To that end, I wasn't surprised to read some accounts of trouble in the past: locking Dan out of the house, hitting and emotionally manipulating the children, and getting all dressed up for an event and refusing to go. I feel like this was just barely touched-on in the series. 3 Link to comment https://forums.primetimer.com/topic/68586-dirty-john-in-the-media-beyond-the-la-times/page/2/#findComment-6853999
