The Colony (1996 film)
The Colony is a 1996 TV film directed by Tim Hunter.
Set in a highprice Malibu community, this madeforTV drama wallows in a multitude of extramarital affairs, corporate intrigue and elegant backstabbing, with murder the logical extension to all the hankypanky. Characters crucial to the plotline are a cop posing as an auto mechanic, and a sexy nanny who intends to break up her best friends marriage. The ending is abrupt and unsatisfying, a sure sign that the film was actually the pilot for an unsold series. Written and produced by Dynasty veterans Richard Shapiro and Esther Shapiro, The Colony was originally consigned to a dog day timeslot on July 4, 1996, by its parent network ABC. Hal Erickson, Rovi
