Wildly popular
for its entire 12 year run, MURDER, SHE WROTE is one of
the most successful mystery shows of all-time. Angela
Lansbury stars as Jessica Fletcher, a widowed mystery
writer who stumbles across a murder in each episode, and
cleverly deduces who the criminal is before anyone else
can. Although the show followed a formula, the pleasure
came from investigating the crime along with Jessica, and
from Lansbury's charming portrayal of the amateur sleuth;
she was nominated for an astonishing 12 Emmys for her
role. Aside from the wawards, Lansbury's performance was
also groundbreaking, for MURDER, SHE WROTE was one of the
very first (and still one of the few) American television
programs to feature an older woman in the lead role. THE
COMPLETE FIRST SEASON contains the pilot movie THE MURDER
OF SHERLOCK HOLMES and all 21 episodes from the premier
year. It features many guest stars from the classical era
of film and television, including Martin Landau, Peter
Graves, Jose Ferrer, Milton Berle, and many others. |
