Murder by Night (7.14)
Moderator: Styles Bitchley
Just saw this last night. The fact that the episode had been colororized was a little irritating, but detract from it too much.
The ending, with all of the suspects guilty of the crime, did come from Agatha Christie's Murder on the Orient Express. The main differences are that in Christie's novel, the 12 murderers had planned their crime in advance. It is also purely by chance that Hercule Poirot, the investigator, is on the train, rather than being called in, as was the case in Murder by Night.
Overall, quite an enjoyable episode. As others have mentioned before: only on Magnum, P. I.

Fun episode.... I like the fact Magnums cigarette is a fake in most of the scenes... must have been difficult for a (as I think) Non-smoker like Tom Selleck to light these many cigarettes, so no wonder he has the "not lighted-version" between his lips most of the time

Carmen,
Remember for the Ike: Countdown movie for TV, he HAD to smoke -- I guess the producers decided that smoking was so much a part of Ike, they couldn't fake it or ignore it. If I recall correctly, he then had the habit pretty strongly and had to quit just like any other addicted smoker (SL, correct me if I'm wrong here. You may recall the correct facts.).
However, personally, I wouldn't call anyone who smokes cigars a "non-smoker."

I don`t know, but somehow, for me smoking cigars isn`t the same, it`s more like aahh, can`t explain, foreign language, you seeHowever, personally, I wouldn't call anyone who smokes cigars a "non-smoker."
no, to be honest I cannot explain it in german either - my husband smoked cigarettes and my father-in-law cigars, Hubby smoked while working, relaxing, driving a car, reading etc. his Dad smoked a cigar from time to time, sometimes every evening, sometimes just once a week one.

As a cigar smoker I have to agree with this assessment. A heavy week of smoking for me is two cigars. I usually smoke one a week if any at all.MPS wrote:Must agree with Carmen. My husband enjoys a cigar from time to time. It's a "special occasion" thing. Neither of us regard him as a smoker. On the other hand, my friends who smoke cigarettes, do it all the time.
a question to Golfmobile, Sellecklover, MPS, Miss Q and all other female members: why on earth does HE look so "boyish", or call it cute in this episode? Is it only me thinking this? Normally a man wearing a dark suit, hat and all looks very manly, not this guy. Don`t get me wrong, I like the fact I see it that way, just want to know how you feel or see it.

Carmen, I think it's his hair in this episode. Normally, we see TM with his semi-out-of-control curls. His hair is all slicked back, and 40's looking in Murder by Night. It looks the way a boy might have had his hair done by his mom, for a special occasion. You are right, TM does look younger than one would expect, for a man in a suit and tie. It's a good look for him. What the heck, all looks are good for him!
