Reception

A Killing Affair received generally positive reviews, with particular praise for O. J. Simpson. People called it Simpson's "best dramatic performance to date."[4] John J. O'Connor of the New York Times wrote, Шаблон:Blockquote

A Killing Affair received a 29% Nielsen rating, finishing second to Charlie's Angels in its time slot.[2]

There was relatively little controversy generated by the interracial romance between the protagonists. Montgomery and Simpson did not receive any significant hate mail, though one Southern CBS affiliate did receive a bomb threat after the film aired.[2]
