Movie Reviews of Lord Peter Wimsey - Murder Must Advertise
Movie Review: Victor Dean spirals to his death
Summary: 5 Stars
Victor Dean (Robert Hamilton) writes "There is something going on in the organization that is very undesirable and might lead to serious consequences,"
Shortly after that Victor Dean spirals to his death. An accident?
It may be coincidence but to be on the safe side Mr. Pym (Peter Pratt) of Pym's Advertising Agency heirs a privet detective "Death Breen" to secretly find the answer. Mr. Breen poses as a beginning copy writer and gets to know the staff. We notice that Mr. Breen is too well dressed for the part and looking closer we recognize him as...
Lord Peter (Ian Carmichael) used the address of the empty apartment owned by his brother-in-law Chief Inspector Parker (Mark Eden) and sister Lady Mary (Rachel Herbert)
While Lord Peter is doing his investigation of the mysterious doings at Pym's, Chief Inspector Parker is investigation dope smuggling. Their paths cross frequently.
Is there a link?
And was Victor Dean just a victim of an accident?
Watch and find out.
You may notice that Ian Carmichael is really showing his age in this film and is just a tad old for the part.
They took the time to put just about everything relevant from the book in to this production. There were a few exceptions but not worth bothering about. The production is complete enough that you do not have to read the book.
Dorothy L. Sayers writes many non-fiction books however among her best is the Lord Peter Wimsey series. I came to this series sort of though the back door. My first taste was the BBC productions with Petherbridge as Lord Peter, which can now be found on DVD and as a set of Lord Peter stories. So I read all of Dorothy's books containing the relationship of Lord Peter Wimsey and Harriet Vane. Now it is time to go through the whole series.
This item is worth purchasing as you will want to replay it often.
