_**Mystery movie set at Lake Tahoe with Barbara Eden, Larry Hagman and Vera Miles**_
A woman from New York City (Barbara Eden) returns home to a small town by Lake Tahoe, but the townsfolk are strangely unfriendly. Larry Hagman plays her husband, Vera Miles her stepmother, John Rubinstein her stepbrother and Tyne Daly a young woman who has secrets to share.
"A Howling in the Woods" (1971) is a small town mystery with some thrills at the end. Despite being a television production, the cast is noteworthy and the rustic Lake Tahoe locations are exquisite. Unfortunately, the contrived story is too drawn out and would’ve worked better at 74 minutes.
It’s a worthwhile movie for the highlights noted as long as you don’t mind slow pacing and some artificial scripting, just don’t expect any werewolves. The movie runs around 1 hour, 35 minutes, and was shot at Tahoe City, Lake Tahoe and Universal Studios, Universal City, California.
