Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaThe characters of "Helmsley Post" -an aggressively macho writer of war stories - and "Adrian Winslow" - a waspish, perhaps homosexual author of historical novels - may be intended as outrageous caricatures of the real-life writers Norman Mailer and Gore Vidal, whose long-standing literary feud had been very much in the news shortly before this was filmed. The name "Post" for the Mailer character is another clue.
- Quotes
[last lines]
Horace Lynchfield: Now, what I need is some cigarettes and a stiff drink. Let's get out of here, okay?
Jessica Fletcher: Oh! At the risk of sounding like a nag, Horace, you're gonna have to do something about your drinking.
Horace Lynchfield: Are you saying to cut back? That would be like depriving a race car of its gasoline.
Clerk: Oh. May I help you?
[Horace pulls out his gun-shaped lighter, the clerk sees it, screams and presses the alarm]
Jessica Fletcher: You might also consider giving up, uh, cigarettes.

Written by John Addison
It's a very solid, easy going episode, it's light in tone, and fun. It makes me laugh how the Police invite her into the Crime scene, and how she instantly starts interfering. The only issue here, is if you're even the tiniest bit observant you'll work it out in seconds.
Growing up in the eighties I have such an affection for this time frame, the decor and fashions, such an elegant era, apart from those glasses!
Good fun. 8/10
