Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)"The Lady In Question" is a sequel to the television movie mystery "Murder in a Small Town" and both produced for the A&E Cable Television Network and as far as I know these are the only two Larry 'Cash' Carter films ever made, which is a great shame! Both films were written in 1999 by Gene Wilder and Gilbert Pearlman.
(In case anybody wonders, Gene Wilder's version "The Lady In Question" is not to be confused with the Glenn Ford & Rita Hayworth movie from 1940 with the same title; where the plot of this Black & White movie is totally different!)
Synopsis:
Set in 1938, Gene Wilder plays Larry "Cash" Carter, a one-time Broadway theatrical director who has moved to a quiet Connecticut town in Stamford, where he oversees a community theatre group and works as a private investigator. With his stewardess girlfriend, Mimi Barnes (Cherry Jones) and detective friend, Tony Rossini (Mike Starr), they investigate the murder of renowned philanthropist, Emma Sachs, who had strong anti-Nazi sentiments. Emma, with her late husband, used to help Jews escape from Nazi Germany, and was also a friend of Cash. There are nefarious servants, devious relatives, and an Axis agent all figuring into the deadly puzzle before Cash can determine the killer's identity.
What a real delight this film turned out to be. It is a well-acted gentle mystery drama with many twists and turns and added humour in all the right places. Gene Wilder with Cherry Jones have such great chemistry and are so charming that you can just feel their love and warmth for each other. Their rapport is just heaven to watch. (Incidentally, this is also true of "Murder In A Small Town"). I thought all the actors were brilliant and with a decent plot that kept the suspense going right till the end.
I thoroughly recommend this enjoyable film!! And if you are also a Gene Wilder fan, you'll be in for a wonderful treat.
