MURDER ON THE FILM SET

-

It’s April 1958. Inspector Morris and Constable Briggs are investigat­ing the suspicious death of actress Bette starr. she was killed while shooting a scene for her new film — stabbed by her co-star and secret lover, GREGORY HOLLIDAY. He believed he was using a prop dagger with a retractabl­e blade. But someone had swapped the fake dagger for a real one. did Gregory know? or is the culprit someone else? Perhaps it was Bette’s cuckolded husband, OSCAR J. HUMPHREYS III, or her jealous twin sister, Judy STARR? or could it be screenwrit­er Gene ROMANO, aggrieved by changes Bette made to his script? the fifth suspect is EVE Audrey ‘Holly’ Wood, who says she was Bette’s biggest fan but who had been sending poison-pen letters in green ink. Morris and Briggs have been left two clues already. today, Inspector Morris has lunch in a cafe. donning his coat as he leaves, he discovers someone has slipped a third photo into his pocket: a poster of the Gene Kelly film, An American In Paris. Clearly, someone is on the inspector’s tail, but who? How do the clues add up? And who murdered Bette starr?
