This movie is adapted from a novel by Margery Allingham, private detective Albert Campion receives an invitation to the funeral of a lifelong bully and his principal tormentor during his school days in the early 1900's. Although he would like to never see Roland "Pig" Peters again, he decides to attend. Strangely, just three months later Campion is asked to solve a recent murder and the victim turns out to be Pig Peters? Has Pig died twice? Who is in the coffin?This is good and interesting. Very British so don't expect a quick resolution. This is the first episode of a Campion mystery to be shown on PBS Masterpiece Mystery. 3 1/2* (I liked this movie)
107 min, Mys directed by Robert Chetwyn with Peter Davison, Brian Glover, Moray Watson, Amanda Elwes, John Fortune, Claire Williamson, Michael Gough, Rob Edwards, Dilys Laye.
