When I first saw this film on A&E, I fell in love with it. Gene Wilder and the rest of the cast gave a splendid performance.This movie was not all about the mystery case. It had some few side stories as well. A little bit of romance, a little bit of this and that. That is why I gave this movie five stars because the movie was not all about a Murder-Case. Although, the main story was good enough and I give this movie credit for that. This movie was not at all suspenseful or scary, but very unexpected and enjoyable. Two thumbs up! - Jennie Sablan

The perfect movie for a rainy afternoon-- A beautifully photographed period mystery: great use of light, perfect costumes, props, sets, locations and perfectly cast. Gene Wilder is deft and intelligent as Carter, a highly successful Broadway director, who has left New York with his daughter after he and his wife were attacked, and his wife murdered. "Cash" now directs a small theatre company in Stamford, Connecticut (charming, as it used to be!). Luckily for us, he's pals with the local police lieutenant (well-played by Mike Starr), who taps Wilder to be his sounding board as he unravels murder(s)[see "Lady in Question"]. Very nice characterizations, nice bit of romance, nice period situations--- Just a great way to spend a couple of hours.

Murder in a Small Town, starring Gene Wilder, is about a murder of someone Gene Wilder knows. The suspects are also people he knows and he is forced to accuse one of them. His friend who is a cop helps him unravel amost all the secrets except one small detail. Who did it? Will he find out who did it, or will someones life be at stake? Watch this exciting, thrilling, and suspenseful movie and find out.

I had no idea what this movie was about but I am glad I bought it. It is a good mystery story. Gene Wilder is a good actor & made this a enjoyable movie. It is a big surprise when you find out who the killer is. And it is sad when ever he think's about his murdered wife. But the movie is not about his dead wife. It is about the other people who were murdered.

_Murder in a Small Town_ is a film that mystery lovers and Gene Wilder fans will all enjoy. The plot starts out slow but gains momentum as it draws in its audience. Wilder is a treat in this film and makes up for any small inadequacies or predictabilities in plot. Overall, this show is good, clean, murderous fun.
