The Perfect Murder
starring Hurd Hatfield, Mildred Natwick
written by Victor Wolfson, Stacy Aumonier
directed by Robert Stevens
Brothers Paul (Hurd Hatfield) and Henri make plans to murder their Aunt Rosalie (Mildred Natwick) after she inherits a tidy sum of money. Paul is much more proactive than Henri but both of them contribute to the murder attempt. Paul's eagerness to do away with his aunt causes him to be a bit too over confident and costs him dearly.
Thoughts
This was fun although I don't think it had enough of a twist for me to call it a favorite. I very much enjoyed the performances by the two lead actors. I'm not sure if everyone would agree with me.
This is the first of two episodes of this show in which Hurd Hatfield appeared. He also appeared in an episodes of Amazing Stories (1985).
This is the first of two episodes of this show in which Mildred Natwick appeared. She was in a few movies I have seen including The Enchanted Cottage (1945), Yolanda and the Thief (1945), and The Trouble with Harry (1955).
This is the first of three episodes of this show that is based upon a story written by Stacy Aumonier. This is the first of six episodes of this show for which Victor Wolfson wrote the teleplay.
This is the ninth of 44 episodes of this show that Robert Stevens directed. The previous one he directed was 1.22 Place of Shadows.
