Case of Silenced Singer Brings Added Surprises ***1/2, 22 September 2008
9/10
Author: edwagreen from United States

Another very good Perry Mason film where a singer, with a changing personality, is murdered and her second husband is arrested for this.

As always, Perry uncovers a slew of others who could have done the victim in.

You know that something is really amiss when of all people, Alice Ghostley, is killed by the killer as she same him at the scene where he didn't want people to know that he had been there.

Other potential suspects include the woman's first husband, and two female friends.

The ending, as always, is a real shocker. You'll almost feel empathy for the killer until you realize that he or she tried to blame the first husband out of revenge for his previous affair.

As the singer, Vanessa Williams sparkles. Her singing, in flashbacks, is absolutely sparkling. Wonder if she did her own singing.
