Guilty Conscience (1985)
This is a tv movie from the creators of Columbo.
Defense attorney Arthur Jamison (Anthony Hopkins) wants to be rid of his wife, Louise Jamison (Blythe Danner) but he does not want to divorce her and have to split his wealth and property with her. So he creates an imaginary alter ego (Donegan Smith), a prosecuting attorney, to help him plan the perfect murder. Arthur Jamison is not only unfaithful to his wife but he's also cheating on his mistress Jackie Willis (Swoosie Kurtz) with a third woman.
Arthur Jamison keeps coming up with plans for his wife's death, which we see played out, then scrapping them after his imaginary prosecuting attorney points out the flaws in the plan.
Blythe Danner does such a good job playing Arthurt Jamison's alter ego that its easy to think it was Anthony Hopkins playing both roles.
The movie has a double twist in the end. I can imagine Columbo solving the murder though.
A $1 DVD worth much more.
