Murder, She Wrote: The Days Dwindle Down

Murder, She Wrote: The Days Dwindle Down (S03E21) - 1987 - NA


So, almost 40 years later, Strange Bargain gets a reboot on an episode of Murder, She Wrote.
J. B. Fletcher is asked to solve an old mystery, shown using flashbacks of the 1949 movie.
Flashbacks are edited so that the story is modified.
Any good? A trio of original actors reprise their roles, and June Havoc and Gloria Stuart are brought in.
This is Murder, She Wrote, however, which generally has a safe predictability.
Once every blue moon, though, the series kicked out a rather dark episode.
This is one of those.
