Produced for the USA cable service, Accidental Meeting stars Linda Purl as Maryanne and Linda Gray as Jennifer. Meeting by chance, the two women begin discussing the men in their life. Maryanne expresses a wish to see her boss dead, while Jennifer would sooner see an odious male of her acquaintance drop dead. When Maryanne's hateful employer is killed, Jennifer re-enters her life, admitting to the murder and demanding equal reciprocation. While Accidental Meeting's 1951 role model Strangers on a Train is virtually suitable for the whole family, the later film is laden with parental guidance suggested violence and sex. Accidental Meeting premiered March 17, 1994. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide.

In this thriller, a woman discovers that the young man living on her property isn't as nice as she initially believed. Jessica Michaels (Linda Purl) rents out the guest house at her estate to David Summer (Maxwell Caulfield), a quiet man who is neat, well-behaved, and courteous. Jessica figures that she could hardly ask for more from a tenant, though her daughter Laura (Stacy Hogue) is convinced that David is up to no good. And it turns out that Stacy's right; many years ago, David's father was killed, and he has come to believe that Jessica is to blame, and moving into the guest house is part of a carefully laid plan to take his revenge. The Perfect Tenant also features Earl Holliman, Melissa Behr, and Tracy Nelson. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide.
