An excellent film about comeuppance!

Warning: Spoilers
I've only ever seen this film once in my life, many years ago, while I was still a child, before I knew anything of VCRs. It left such an impression on me that I've been haunted by it ever since. I trawl the TV guides each week, in the hope that it will be broadcast once again. I search on e-bay, amazon, every site I can think of, all, so far, to no avail!

A businessman attempts to kill a more senior partner (not a nice man, so far as I recall). However it turns out that the attempt was unsuccessful. The partner turns up as though nothing had happened, and so the much relieved 'murderer' thinks he has got away with it and the partner seems to be more reasonable.

Then the twist at the end...

If you've seen 'One of my wives is missing' with Lesley Ann Warren and Jack Klugman you'll have some idea of have marvellous the twist at the end is.
