A good role for Lee Meriwether, but yes, you have to admit it's been done before. Writer Marc Brandel, known for BURKES LAW, may have snagged the idea from a Miss Marple movie, starring Margaret Rutherford, MURDER MOST FOUL. Watch for it on TCM.
Betty up and joins a local theater group, plagued with problems, particularly their star, played by popular actress Penny Peyser (as Sybil). Peyser had previously appeared in RICH MAN, POOR MAN, BOOK II. Of course, there's a dangerous character on the prowl and Barnaby's detective skills are needed.
Still Lee Meriwether is fun to watch, and in different role for a change of pace, which even allows her to sing. Guessing the culprit is always worth your time.
Good cast at work here, namely Charles Siebert, known for TRAPPER JOHN, STAR TREK alum Jonathan Frakes and veteran actress Patricia Donahue (as Laura), who appeared on the series before. Donahue appeared in many classic tv dramas, notably PERRY MASON.
A salute to Charles Siebert, who passed in 2022.
For all us Lee Meriwether fans. SEASON 7 EPISODE 8 remastered color. 6 dvd set. 2018 release. Only Barnaby's picture is on the front cover. My only complaint.
