Featured review
A pupil succeeds
Angela Lansbury provides introduction to this episode where she describes the
success of former pupil Diane Canova who has taken up writing but she writes
for television.
Her successful cop show is about to be cancelled and before that happens a network vice president.is gunned down. Canova proves to be as resourceful as JB Fletcher in solving real crimes.
Acting honors go to Dwayne Hickman as a sneaky TV executive and Tim Thomerson as an outrageous overacting star of Canova's show who is the one first suspected.
