THRILLER
Episode 42: A MIDSUMMER NIGHTMARE
Written by Brian Clemens
Produced by Ian Fordyce
Directed by Don Leaver
(tx date May 15, 1976)
US: Appointment With A Killer
fr: Cauchemar d'une nuit d'été
Als der Privatdetektiv Johnny Baxter nach Italien verreist, schlüpft seine Frau Jody kurzentschlossen in seine Rolle. Sie will Arnold Tully helfen, herauszufinden, wer vor fünf Jahren seine Pflegetochter Annabella ermordet hat.
A Midsummer Nightmare firmiert wie K Is for Killing eher als Experiment, funktioniert aber besser. Auf Gruselelemente wird weitgehend verzichtet, die Balance zwischen ernstem Drama und Lockerheit besser gehalten.
