1971-1980John BadhamMysteryTVUnited KingdomHere’s a spoiler free review from IMDB:
“There have been a number of excellent films about murder and mayhem occurring in small towns. “They Only Kill Their Masters, “Sherlock Holmes & The Scarlet Claw”, “Winter Kills”, and “Five Card Stud” come to mind, and this 1973 ABC movie-of-the-week has got to be one of the very best ever made.

But something about it doesn’t feel right to Daniel Barnes, the local chief of police. Barnes, (excellently played by Alan Alda) refuses to believe the official findings and begins an investigation to prove there’s something rotten going on in his little town.Read More »
