Diary of a Perfect Murder is a fun and interesting movie that keeps you on the edge of your seat. The real killer is never known until the very end when Ben Matlock (Andy Griffith) brings to light the identity of the murderer. In case your not aware, Diary of a Perfect Murder served as the pilot for the long running series Matlock that ran from 1986-1995. Everything's pretty much the same except for the character of Charlene is played by actor Lori Lethen and there is also a secretary that never appears later on. Ben to me seems to be more spry in this movie and very exciting to watch as he tries to solve the case. This movie ranks up there with Columbo!
