What happens
A Talent for Murder is a 1983 British television film directed by Alvin Rakoff, starring Angela Lansbury, Laurence Olivier and Hildegard Neil; the 1981, Edgar Award winning Broadway play of the same name, written by Jerome Chodorov and Norman Panama, starred Jean-Pierre Aumont and Claudette Colbert. The film was produced by the BBC and originally aired on BBC Two in December 1983 in the UK, and on Showtime in January 1984 in the US. Set in a New York country mansion but shot in Britain, Lansbury's performance as a crime writer anticipated her long-running role in the CBS show Murder, She Wrote. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
