One Shoe Makes it Murder (DVD)

Robert Mitchum takes a walk on the wild side in his TV acting debut, a suspenseful tale of blackmail and murder costarring Angie Dickinson and Mel Ferrer. Harold Shillman (Mitchum) used to be the best on the force. Now he's a washed up ex-cop, too down on his luck to care. So when he's hired to find the missing wife of a Tahoe casino owner (Ferrer), no one's more surprised than Shillman. Tracking her down to a San Francisco high-rise, he gets there in time to watch her fall to her death. Unsure whether she jumped or was pushed, Shillman hooks up with a woman from the victim's past (Dickinson) to help unravel a web of lies and expose the unsavory truth. Based on the 1981 novel So Little Cause for Caroline by Emmy Award -winner* Eric Bercovici, One Shoe Makes it Murder first aired on CBS-TV on November 6, 1982, and was nominated for the Mystery Writers of America's Edgar Award as Best TV Feature. *Outstanding Limited Series, Shogun, 1981
