John Morland: Murder, my friend, is like a game of solitaire. To be sure of winning it, it should be played alone.
- Crazy creditsThe version airing on the Fox Movie Channel has credits in a modern, video-generated font, suggesting that the original main and end titles are lost and were quickly and cheaply re-created.

There's a Lot to Keep Track of Here
I wasn't really familiar with any of the cast members in Backlash but despite a rather verbose script, I thought they all did a decent job and I found most of them likeable. I'm new to Jean Rogers but I liked her here. As for the male cast members, they seemed to all be styled to look exactly alike. So the story premise is good but it just doesn't go anywhere. I think there are just too many moving parts and characters to keep track of them all, particularly for a film with a comparatively short running time. Despite a solid cast Backlash just can't create enough momentum to make it worth the viewers time.
