Review of Hanging by a Thread

If the title of this review said "postpone the trip. Bad weather due", then many us would've known the reason why. As a result, I might have seen this Sam Groom Made-for-Television film once and a half in the early 1980s because it is split between two parts and the second time I've watched it was when I was eager to watch the whole length. Its generally melodramatic stuff at first while it's total length is 3hrs 10mins. The whole two part TV drama is about a group of dorks whom decided to take a trip to the mountain by cable-car. Half-way up, the cable-car gets struck by lightning and is disabled. This seems to be pretty odd... eh.... when members of the travelling party and cable-car operators should have checked the weather forecast!!! On the other hand, the lightning strikes during daylight and its suddenly night time where most of the drama scenes were set. Some of us may have had positive hopes for HBTH but the drama turned out to be extremely boring and "soap-like" while Burr Debenning get burnt on board as the kooks seemingly cry or bitch about other members of the travelling party and get flashbacks. Then Sam Groom saves the day only just for the ending is just simply laughing stock as the kooks still continue to bitch about other members of the travelling group. Not recommended then and certainly not recommended today.
