Black Day for Bluebeard (1974)

Murder mystery starring Helen Hayes and Mildred Natwick. A pair of eccentric elderly sisters investigate the real-life murder of a horror film actor's wife.

In the days before Murder She Wrote, The Snoop sisters were TV's no-longer-young literary sleuths, writing mystery novels and solving crimes. This TV tale involves Vincent Price as guest star, a horror film actor past his prime (Typecasting? Never!). An enjoyable slice of low-key whodunnit which also guest-stars Vinnie's friend Roddy McDowall (who also took the wonderful photo of our favourite horrormeister above).





Stay tuned. A sound clip will appear here soon.
