based on the true story of the murder of Dianne Masters, whose killing was arranged by her husband, a Mafia-connected attorney.Treat Williams plays Masters in NBC's two-part movie, "Deadly Matrimony," Sunday and Monday at 9 each night. South African-born Embeth Davidtz is Dianne Masters, who grew up in a Polish neighborhood and became entranced by him. Brian Dennehy plays Sgt. Jack Reed, an honest cop and a family man, and Susan Ruttan is his wife, Arlene. Reed, assigned to head the investigation in 1986, spent more than two years gathering evidence and interviewing key witnesses along with investigators Robert Colby and Paul Sabin. He did his job so well that after a month-long trial, the Masters jury took only 3 1/2 hours to convict Masters on charges of conspiracy, bribery and racketeering. Although tales of real-life corruption in Chicago-area law enforcement agencies would make a series of movies in themselves, "Deadly Matrimony" focuses on Masters, the men who helped him cover up his wife's murder, and Reed Vintage quality indicative of the time-frame it was released.
