Episode 71: BONUS! Suburban White People in Trouble

As Petra and Viktor wave goodbye to Season 3, we are taking on the task of recording our commentary track for STRANGE BARGAIN--the 1949 film that inspired Season 3's THE DAYS DWINDLE DOWN. Find out with us how it COULD HAVE ended before the MURDER, SHE WROTE rewrite completely modified the events thirty years earlier; with standout performances from Martha Scott, Harry Morgan, and Katherine Emery, Jeffrey Lynn stars as the hapless suburban dad who agrees to cover up a murder for $10,000, screws it up, and is prime suspect when the family collects their life insurance policy but the bullets in the wall don't match the story he gives. TONIGHT ON MURDER SHE WROTE, we're examining our options; commiserating when we can, judging when we must, and waiting for an intrepid New England amateur sleuth who's not coming this time around.
