If you're watching this tv movie for Helen Hayes, to see her in her cute little old lady phase, rent a Miss Marple instead. She may be a cute little old lady, but she's the first body to drop dead! Bill Bixby meets her on a train, and she confesses she's on her way to Scotland Yard to identify a murderer who's been wrecking havoc in her small town. "As long as you're the last person they'd suspect, murder is easy," she says with a twinkle in her eye.
When she's killed, Bill isn't content to go on his way. He travels to her town and plays detective, sure that she was murdered to protect the murderer's identity. He meets wealthy and grumpy Timothy West, his beautiful fiancé, Leslie-Anne Down, an adorable museum curator, Olivia de Havilland, the strange loner Jonathan Pryce, and a shady doctor, Shane Briant. Suspicions are around every corner, as are the bodies that accumulate. If you like to play detective, you might enjoy Bill's journey as he explores different theories. I found this one a little too easy to solve, but it was harmless enough.
