Aroview: Ironically fashioned PBS tele-mystery has a frustrated doctor (Miller) driven to dose his overbearing wife (Flynn) with poisons, but having to go to inconvenient lengths to hide his deeds. Amusing and tense enough for most viewers, although purists may decry its distance from Anthony Berkeley's original novel.
