Avg Customer Rating: 
Product Description: From the creators of A&E’s critically acclaimed JANE EYRE and award-winning CRACKER MYSTERIES comes this original two-hour production, created by and starring Gene Wilder. The year is 1938. "Cash" (Wilder) is a star Broadway director who earned his nickname by directing a string of box-office hits. When Cash’s wife is brutally murdered, he retreats back to the safer environs of Stamford, Connecticut, and starts his own community theater. But just as he begins to heal from the tragedy of his wife’s death, another murder shakes his world when a fellow businessman is found dead. Stamford police lieutenant Tony Rossini (Mike Starr) calls on his old friend Cash for help. Cash, putting his insights into character motivation and human psychology to the ultimate test, becomes drawn further and further into a world of mystery and mayhem. As he is forced to come to terms with the tragic events of his own past, he journeys on a trail of violence that will place his own life in jeopardy.

Customer Reviews
A Delightful Mystery
The perfect movie for a rainy afternoon-- A beautifully photographed period mystery: great use of light, perfect costumes, props, sets, locations and perfectly cast. Gene Wilder is deft and intelligent as Carter, a highly successful Broadway director, who has left New York with his daughter after he and his wife were attacked, and his wife murdered. "Cash" now directs a small theatre company in Stamford, Connecticut (charming, as it used to be!). Luckily for us, he's pals with the local police lieutenant (well-played by Mike Starr), who taps Wilder to be his sounding board as he unravels murder(s)[see "Lady in Question"]. Very nice characterizations, nice bit of romance, nice period situations--- Just a great way to spend a couple of hours.

A Great Mystery That Everyone Would Enjoy!!!
When I first saw this film on A&E, I fell in love with it. Gene Wilder and the rest of the cast gave a splendid performance.This movie was not all about the mystery case. It had some few side stories as well. A little bit of romance, a little bit of this and that. That is why I gave this movie five stars because the movie was not all about a Murder-Case. Although, the main story was good enough and I give this movie credit for that. This movie was not at all suspenseful or scary, but very unexpected and enjoyable. Two thumbs up! - Jennie Sablan

A Bit Slow, But Entertaining
_Murder in a Small Town_ is a film that mystery lovers and Gene Wilder fans will all enjoy. The plot starts out slow but gains momentum as it draws in its audience. Wilder is a treat in this film and makes up for any small inadequacies or predictabilities in plot. Overall, this show is good, clean, murderous fun.
