Curiosidades
The play that "Gil Weston" is appearing in is "Prescription: Murder." It shares the title of an actual play from 1962 written by William Levinson and Richard Link, notable for introducing their most famous creation, Lieutenant Columbo. However, the scene from the Gil Weston play shown in the film bears no similarity to anything in the original; nor are the reviews Weston reads similar. In the original play, Lt. Columbo was portrayed by the famous character actor Thomas Mitchell in what would be his last acting role.

Cleverest plot in ages

I am in absolute agreement with the other reviewer - you simply cannot top this plot. If there ever was a title for the cleverest script in TV movie history 'Murder By Natural Causes' would win hands down. Yes, there are very few (The Last of Sheila, Guilty Conscience) that are pretty close but this one is as close to perfection as any script of the genre will come.

It is no surprise, of course, that the same team that created Columbo is responsible for this movie.

Practically unknown, it will probably never be issued on a DVD. What a pity - a textbook script that nobody will remember only because people prefer to watch Dumb and Dumber instead.
