Who Killed Marty Kelso? (1964)

A ruthless Hollywood agent (Harvey Parry) is murdered and leaves behind a plethora of suspects including his new wife (Luciana Paluzzi) and three ex-wives (Glynis Johns, Diane McBain, Marie Wilson). Directed by Don Taylor (THE FINAL COUNTDOWN), this was originally shown on the first season of the television series BURKE'S LAW. Not unlike MURDER SHE WROTE except on the West coast, this featured a millionaire (Gene Barry) who for some inexplicable reason also worked as a police detective and each week solved a murder with plenty of suspects. If you're a murder mystery fan (as I am), then you're probably familiar with the show. It's lightweight with a generous dose of humor and (usually) a clever murder that's almost always difficult to solve. With Mary Ann Mobley, Herschel Bernardi, John Ericson, Regis Toomey, Gary Conway and Don Taylor, the show's director playing a director (Taylor was an actor in films like FATHER OF THE BRIDE and BATTLEGROUND before turning to directing).
