RE:      PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST SEPARATE ACCOUNT
         HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY
         INITIAL FILING

Dear Sir/Madam:

I have acted as General Counsel to Hartford Life Insurance Company (the
"Company"), a Connecticut insurance company, and Hartford Life Insurance Company
Putnam Capital Manager Trust Separate Account (the "Account") in connection with
the registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the form of variable
annuity contracts (the "Contracts") with the Securities and Exchange Commission
under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended. I have examined such documents
(including the Form N-4 Registration Statement) and reviewed such questions of
law as I considered necessary and appropriate, and on the basis of such
examination and review, it is my opinion that:

1.       The Company is a corporation duly organized and validly existing as a
         stock life insurance company under the laws of the State of Connecticut
         and is duly authorized by the Insurance Department of the State of
         Connecticut to issue the Contracts.

2.       The Account is a duly authorized and validly existing separate account
         established pursuant to the provisions of Section 38a-433 of the
         Connecticut Statutes.

3.       To the extent so provided under the Contracts, that portion of the
         assets of the Account equal to the reserves and other contract
         liabilities with respect to the Account will not be chargeable with
         liabilities arising out of any other business that the Company may
         conduct.

4.       The Contracts, when issued as contemplated by the Form N-4 Registration
         Statement, will constitute legal, validly issued and binding
         obligations of the Company.

I hereby consent to the filing of this opinion as an exhibit to the Form N-4
Registration Statement for the Contracts and the Account.

Sincerely,

/s/ Lynda Godkin
