Rueben's Ramblings

On January 22, the two-hour Ovation movie The Scapegoat will debut at 8 PM.

Matthew Rhys (Brothers & Sisters and the upcoming The Americans) will star in this made-for-TV movie based on the novel by Daphne du Maurier that is set in 1952 in Great Britain. The coronation of Queen Elizabeth is in preparation and we meet John Standing (Rhys), who teaches Greek in a shabby prep school until he is unceremoniously dismissed. He decides to embark on an adventure, heading out by train to explore the continent, but on a stop-over he meets his mirror image in a bar and spends a night getting to know “Johnny”, a man of privilege who longs to escape his responsibilities.

Here is a trailer for The Scapegoat.
