- GoofsAbout fifty minutes in, when the Inspector follows his wife to the antique shop, it has a red awning, so it is very noticeable, and she parks her station wagon outside, and a view can be seen from his car across the space between the parallel road he is on to where her car is, but in the film leading up to it, when he is following her to the antique shop, before she is supposed to get there, as he is driving, in the background one can clearly see the antique shop and the tree near it, and her station wagon already outside - before she parked there.

Featured review
If one is inclined to see a movie that has about everything, romance, good detective development and raw scenes - you have hit the jackpot in Hands of a Stranger. The U.S. Version which was done for TV - and then put on VHS is featured in two parts, and it's kind of long, almost 3 hours. However, I found it so intriguing that time flew by. The casting was excellent, Armand Assante, and Beverly D'Angelo are at their best. Each and every player did a great job - extremely convincing. The story line is great, and you'll want to see the whole thing at one time. In today's world, many movies lack convincing story lines and sensible scenes - not so with this one, done in 1987. If you haven't seen it - go for it, you won't be disappointed.
