4.0 out of 5 stars A Good Mystery, August 10, 2007

This review is from: They Call It Murder (DVD)

This is a pretty good mystery based on a novel by Earl Stanley Gardner. The hero is not Perry Mason. It was made in the early seventies as a made for TV movie starring a young Jim Hutton in a pre Ellery Queen role.
The movie looks like a pilot for a TV series. Jim Hutton went on to make the Ellery Queen Mystery series for TV.
The video quality of the DVD is not good. It looks like it was made from an old VHS video tape. So I wouldn't advise paying too much for it, But if you can get it cheap it's worth it.
This is a nice little movie to watch on a Saturday night.

4.0 out of 5 stars Enjoyable, July 5, 2009

This review is from: They Call It Murder (DVD)

I enjoyed this movie more than I expected. Jim Hutton was great and probably was the reason the movie worked. I always liked him in Ellery Queen and this was similar but a different time period. I like the early 70s feel to it. There were some twists and turns and it held my interest.

This review is from: They Call It Murder (DVD)

I enjoyed watching this movie just for stars who are in it. Jim Hutton, Edward Asner, Nita Talbot, Leslie Nielsen, Jessica Walter and others. It is an interesting story. It is a film adaptation of an Erle Stanley Gardner novel.

4.0 out of 5 stars A Nice TV Film based on Erle Stanley Gardner
This is a routine TV film from 1970. It is worth watching primarily for its creator and the later stars who made it. Read more
