Jessica is outraged to learn that her first novel 'The Corpse danced at Midnight is to be made into a cheap slasher movie. She sets off for Hollywood to confront director Jerry Lydecker, but after spending a little disgruntled time on the set, she discovers a body.
This is a pretty good episode, one that builds on the wonderfully named book, The Corpse danced at midnight, such a catchy title. It's believable that Jessica would want to intercede in the production of that film, very much in keeping with her character.
Particularly nice production values, the sets look great. Well acted as always, John Saxon does a particularly good job making Jerry such a dislikeable character. John Astin feels a little underused, appearing as Ross, it wouldn't be long before he'd return as regular Harry.
I would like to take issue with the words of Jessica Fletcher, not putting whisky with Diet Coke, I beg to differ :-)
A good episode with a few nice twists. 7/10
