ABC will also rerun the hit movie The Sting on April 20, ahead of schedule...
...already had an affair with a married female follower (Diana Scarwid), Jones starts to make love to the woman's husband (Brad Dourif) as she looks on. One's mind reels merely in contemplation of the efforts it no doubt took to get the scene past the network's censors. In Part 2, things get going when Congressman Leo Ryan (Beatty) arrives to investigate the Peoples Temple. The airstrip murders and subsequent mass suicides are as graphic as one can stomach...
