Murder Can Hurt You!

My sister and I saw this as kids (me, 10; her, 7) and we still talk about it to this day. We've tried to rent it, but of course it is not available, but my parents had taped it for us the second time it was on (on Beta) and we watched it over and over again. Very clever parody of murder mysteries with a funny cast and silly plots that twist into a surprising and fun ending. Can't say enough about it....

It is funny to read these comments too. I was maybe 9 when I watched this; And couldn't remember anyhting other that the name, someone like Columbo was in it, and an a car accident that created a giant omelete.

I wonder if anyone knows where to find it. I would love to watch it again.

How far away is "retro TV on demand". The technology is in place. The networks should really look into the details.

I can get syndicated TJ Hooker, I should be able to get these old TV movies.

Thank god for IMDb.

When a mysterious Man In White kills one of their number, members of the World's Greatest Detectives Club band together to track him down.

It's a spoof of the 1970s TV cop shows, ranging from McCloud to Columbo. Intended as a reply to Murder By Death, this TV movie is lazily written and badly performed, despite the cast being quite capable. They have little to do but repeat the most obvious bits of their characters and mug. Only Li Torres, playing "Mrs. Palumbo" has much to do that is actually funny and performed with comic energy. With Victor Buono, Jamie Farr, John Byner, Gavin McLeod, Buck Owens, Connie Stevens, and Jimmy "JJ" Walker.

Hey qhavcnwv, So glad to hear you still have a copy. I would love to see your digital copy. How would one go about getting a copy from you?

Sometimes silly movies are good for a laugh.

I have a digital copy from a 1980 VHS recording since this only aired once, if anyone would like to see this again.
