Editorial Review:

Amazon.com:
Rehearsal for Murder fits the template of popular TV shows such as Murder, She Wrote and Diagnosis Murder. But that doesn't make it a worthy movie. The pedestrian plot involves five theater people who believe they are auditioning for a new play but have in fact been brought together to discern who among them is the murderer of Broadway star Monica Wells (Lynn Redgrave). After Monica's death is misinterpreted as suicide, her distraught fiancé, a not-so-Neil Simon playwright named Alex Dennison (Robert Preston), concocts the idea for a play within a play. He's invited these five to read for his newest opus. The catch? They all had dealings with Monica prior to her demise. It may hope to be a twisty Anne Perry, Miss Marple, or P.D. James thriller, but Rehearsal for Murder is in fact a trifle that takes itself too seriously and rambles in the final third. --Paula Nechak

- Great movie with a twist
This was a fairly good Made For T.V movie. I actullay purcahsed this because I was cast as the Jeff Goldblum Character in a community theatre version of the play by the same name. The dialogue is basically word for word, with some characters from the play not int the movie and sexes changed in the movie as well. A good movie to see on a rainy day with nothing else to do

Rating:

- An interesting plot twist
Maybe it is not the Best Movie in the World, but I found it enjoyable, especially for the final twist. I think it was a play first and it shows: not much imagination in the scenes, a rather drab setting. But still enjoyable.

- Great mystery from the creators of Columbo!
This is one of the best TV mysteries I've ever seen. Non-mystery fans may consider the setup preposterous, but the directive "buy the premise, buy the bit" applies here. It wasn't impressive till the end, then all became clear. If you love Levinson & Link mysteries, like the movie Murder By Natural Causes, or the TV serieses (plural?) Columbo or Columbo's descendant Murder She Wrote, you'll enjoy the twists in the plot. Just like you have to be a PeeWee Herman fan to like PeeWee Herman movies, this ... Read More

- THE ONLY CRIME IS THAT THIS MESS WAS MADE!
Poor Robert Preston. We understand that everyone needs to earn a living, but to earn it in such a fetid fashion is unforgivable. We shouldn't blame the poor music man ... the plot is inane, the writing pedestrian and the direction is stiffer than a Viagra test room. (You know something is very wrong when even the folks who wrote the packaging copy refer to the flick's co-star Lynn Redgrave as "Vanessa Redgrave." Poor Lynn is engaged to poor Robert. She "commits suicide" on the very the night she makes ... Read More

- Intriguing murder mystery
One of the best made-for-TV movies I've seen. A Broadway playwright tries to catch his wife's murderer by staging a play that is designed to reveal the murderer's identity. A marvelous film with many twists and turns written by Richard Levinson and William Links, who also made the equally fabulous "Guilty Conscience" and "Murder by Natural Causes." The DVD has good picture and sound quality.
