The Longest Night is a 1972 television film written by Merwin Gerard and directed by Jack Smight.[1] The plot concerns the kidnapping of Karen Chambers (Sallie Shockley), daughter of wealthy Alan Chambers (David Janssen). The kidnapper (James Farentino) holds her underground in a homemade coffin. He leaves her there (with a fan for air and a gallon of water) until he receives the ransom money. Her family frantically searches for her.
This movie was originally shown as an ABC Movie of the Week on September 12, 1972. It is based on the 1968 Barbara Mackle kidnapping by Gary Steven Krist.
