Synopsis
Perfect Crime is a funny, sexy thriller about three psychiatrists, a detective, a crazy patient and at least one dead body. A man is murdered -- maybe. Did his wife kill him? The detective investigating the case thinks so - until he starts to fall in love with her and the husband mysteriously reappears.
The New York Times calls
Perfect Crime "an urban legend... a crackling thriller." The New Yorker calls it "a cunning little whodunit" and UPI says "If Harold Pinter, Tennessee Williams and Agatha Christie ever sat around a bar one night and said 'Let's write a murder mystery,' they might have come up with
Perfect Crime."
"
Perfect Crime is something of a phenomenon," says Fox Five News. Now in its 20th year,
Perfect Crime "may well outdistance The Mousetrap" says WNEW. What is the perfect crime? Come and see for yourself!
Awards
