In the Glitter Palace was the first made-for-TV movie in which lesbianism was a crucial plot factor. Chad Everett stars as a defense lawyer and erstwhile detective, whose gay client is Barbara Hershey. She is on trial for murdering her slimy blackmailer (played by that master of sliminess, Anthony Zerbe). Among Hershey's lesbian friends are Salome Jens and Diana Scarwid, who may know more than what they're telling Everett. Just because In the Glitter Palace was a groundbreaker in regards to its subject matter doesn't make it a better movie; strip away the "relevance," and you've got just another by-rote whodunit. ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide

Considered daring by the standards of a made-for-TV drama in 1977, In The Glitter Palace (retitled A Woman Accused for home video release) gets a simple presentation for its release on DVD. The feature has been transferred to disc in its original full-screen aspect ratio of 1.33:1, and the audio is in Dolby Digital Mono. No subtitles, multiple language options, or bonus materials have been included. ~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide
