Cook Gideon Jardan wakes up in a hotel room with a dead woman on the floor.Or that's what they want him to think.Then they trick him into murdering his employer, Minister Spillenburg.Mirjam Himberg's Murhakopla (1961) is one of the oldest TV plays that has remained till our days.It's written by Henrik Tikkanen.The cast is great.Pentti Siimes plays Gideon.Maija Karhi is his wife Anna.Lasse Pöysti portrays Spillenburg.Tarmo Manni is Otto and Aino Lehtimäki his partner in crime, Irene.This offers some pretty good comedy.Especially I enjoyed Pentti Siimes' character, who was made to look a little older his age.And Lasse Pöysti's character was also a riot.He was made to look a lot older.It's quite funny when Gideon tries to murder Spillenburg by placing a poisonous pin on his chair.You should watch this if you missed it on Tuesday.
