Has anybody ever found these pages before? It has interior photos of 1561 Kirby, including the famed music room. Just click on either of these links, find the photo of the exterior of the house on the top left corner and click where it says "View Photo Gallery."

That music room is really something!

Well, like I said, I don't blame anyone for having problems with the movie if they had a personal connection to this tragedy. Even though I think it's a good film, I still watched it with a grain of salt knowing that things were not being dramatized as accurately as possible.

According to Zillow, the Hill house was recently sold. Here is the link to it:

The Hills lived down the street from us in Southgate, prior to living in River Oaks. As an 8 year old kid, I remember them as very nice people. My parents were friends with them, and remember them as very nice people.

I remember Joan Robinson as very outgoing and confident...she seemed to always have a smile on her face. I remember John Hill as a nice man, clean-cut man.

The movie, as I recall painted him as kaniving (sp?) and her as overly dependent on him, neither which seemed to be true.

I won the movie Murder in Texas off of Ebay recently. I don't blame the people on this message board who complained about the inaccuracies in the movie. (If you knew the people or lived through those times, you always want things to be as accurate as possible.) That being said, I thought the movie held up through the years and was very well-acted and entertaining. I remember seeing it as a kid when it premiered on NBC and finding its depiction of upscale Houston fascinating. I think, of all the characters, Joan Robinson Hill and Ash Robinson came off as the most sympathetic. Farrah Fawcett and Andy Griffith did a superb job of giving those people depth and humanity. Sam Elliott was chilling as John Hill. Katharine Ross was fetching but dull as Ann Kurth. Fawcett makes Joan such a vibrant and likeable person that the movie isn't the same in the second half when she is gone.

Which house on MacGregor did they film at? I tried looking it up on Zillow and it doesn't look anything like the house in the movie.

I'm not from Houston and never visited, but this is a great message board.
