Hard to believe, but I was 12 years old when this movie was first shown on TV.
Like other reviewers, "Shadow on the Land" made an impact on me like no other made for TV movie that the networks were churning out at the time, with the exception of "Duel" and perhaps "The Brotherhood of the Bell".
There were just three networks: ABC, CBS, and NBC. Nothing else. Cable TV and video recorders didn't exist.
It is a little dated, considering it was 1968, but the message about the possibility of an American fascist state coming into existence is scary.
This movie is prophetic and well worth your time to find.
I am looking for a copy of this movie. Please email me at c_c_colvin (AT)yahoo(dot)com
