One of the best I've seen from the early 80s is "Chiefs" directed by Jerry London which was retitled for the UK market initially and called "Once Upon A Murder", then repeated a few years later under the proper name "Chiefs".



This is a tale of unsolved murders in a small hick southern states town in the US from 1917 up to the 1960s, and the generations of police chiefs who try and solve the mystery. Fascinating stuff and very edge-of-the-seat gripping.



Paul Sorvino is particularly good as the local redneck cop Sheriff Skeeter Willis, worth watching just for his performance.



Charlton Heston .... Hugh Holmes

Keith Carradine .... Foxy Funderburke

Stephen Collins .... Billy Lee

Brad Davis .... Sonny Butts

Tess Harper .... Carrie Lee

Paula Kelly .... Liz Watts

Wayne Rogers .... Will Henry Lee

Paul Sorvino .... Sheriff Skeeter Willis

Victoria Tennant .... Trish Lee

Billy Dee Williams .... Tyler Watts (aka Joshua Cole)

Lane Smith .... Hoss Spence

Kaiulani Lee .... Mrs. Butts

Novella Nelson .... Nellie Cole

Danny Glover .... Marshall Peters

Leo Burmester .... Emmett Spence



I was lucky enough to find a copy from Amazon for someone's Chrismas present and it was something ridiculous like £3.50.
