RE:  HARTFORD LIFE INSURANCE COMPANY - PUTNAM CAPITAL MANAGER TRUST
     SEPARATE ACCOUNT
     FILE NO. 333-36132

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 Connecticut
with the registration of an indefinite amount of securities in the form of
flexible premium variable annuity insurance 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 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 yours,

/s/ Lynda Godkin
