In Broad Daylight (1991) - Brian Dennehy, Cloris Leachman, Marcia Gay Harden

"In Broad Daylight" is a movie that is difficult to find. I made a copy on a VHS video tape when it was on TV years ago. I recently found it, so I'm posting it here. "In Broad Daylight" is a 1991 American made-for-television thriller drama film based on the life of Ken McElroy, the town bully of Skidmore, Missouri who became known for his unsolved murder. Based on the true events in Skidmore, Missouri in 1981, the film centers around the town dealing with violent bully Len Rowan (Brian Dennehy). After a confrontation at a local grocery, Rowan begins stalking the owner Ruth Westerman (Cloris Leachman) and her husband Wes. The harassment culminates with Rowan's shooting Wes and claiming self-defense, while standing trial. Through a series of legal maneuvers, Rowan prolongs his freedom for over a year, all the while continuing to harass anyone in the town whom he feels is a threat—including police. After he violates the orders of his appeal, the town decides to meet and figure out how to deal with him, once and for all.
