- GoofsWhen Lawrence Jarvis (Robert Lansing) breaks into Ben Oliver's (Gerald S. O'Loughlin) motel room, the door knob is on the right side of the door (in the outside shot). When the camera cuts to the inside, the doorknob is on the opposite side of the door.

Ben Oliver: [explaining his stay in the VA hospital and his later nomadic behavior] Okay, then, I'll give it to you in one quick swallow. You see, Corporal, when a mortar round hits close enough, it not only explodes, it implodes at the very same time. This causes a vacuum, a force that sucks part of your being right out through the top of your skull. For lack of a better word, let's call it your soul. And what most people don't know is, souls are a hell of a lot more fragile than human flesh. Sometimes they just never seem to heal

Written by John Addison
Windom prevails on Cliff DeYoung to give him a job in his boatyard as a carpenter. It all goes well at first. But O'Loughlin has a personal tail in private investigator Robert Lansing from Detroit who is convinced O'Loughlin did a robbery there. When DeYoung is murdered O'Loughlin becomes a perfect patsy.
Which we know he is because it's Angela Lansbury who finds the real killer. And the reason DeYoung was killed was for one of the oldest motives out there.
Nice ensemble cast for this Murder She Wrote.
