Dead Man's Folly
Directed by Clive Donner
Produced by Warner Bros. Television
A clever murder mystery that blurs the line between game and reality, built on intellectual puzzle-solving and the cozy tradition of country-house detection.
During a murder hunt game at a country house, to which Hercule Poirot is invited as an "expert", a real murder occurs.
