Ellery Queen

Season 1 Ep.05: The Adventure of the Comic Book Crusader

On a fishing trip to the town of Wrightsville, Ellery and Inspector Queen are dragged into the case of the murder of a wealthy man who was whacked over the head with an ornamental dog figurine meant as a wedding gift for his daughter and worth nearly half a million dollars. It seems as though two rival candidates for sheriff want the Inspector to solve the town’s first murder in decades so that they can grab the credit.

This is one of the classic TV whodunits — with a twist. The show’s format was such that the audience would see everything that the show’s namesake character would see, including all of the clues, and then, right before the final… More scene started (you know… the one where all the suspects are brought into the room for the “YOU… killed the victim. And you did it because…” scene, the star (Ellery Queen, of course) would turn to the TV audience and state “Okay, you’ve got all the clues. Do you know who did it? I think I do. Can you guess?” And the audience had the chance to be part of the show. Quite unique and half the fun.

Rating: 9/10
Author: blanche-2 from United States

Ellery Queen, written and produced by the same people who brought us “Murder, She Wrote” nine years later, was ahead of its time with its 1940s atmosphere and mystery plots, older casting and older guest stars. By the time the mid-’80s came around, the demographics had changed enough to make “Murder, She Wrote” a breakout hit — but in the ’70s, that audience wasn’t there yet. It’s a shame because Ellery Queen was a superior show in every way to the Angela Lansbury series. Hutton and Wayne were perfect as Ellery and the Inspector. John Hillerman, in the beginning episodes, was a radio detective and was preferable to the later budinsky, a newspaper man played by Ken Swofford. The pilot for this series, guest-starring Ray Milland, was one of the best ever made, complete with a radio show that had makeshift sound effects. Guest stars in the series included Tab Hunter, Signe Hasso, Howard Duff, Ida Lupino, Susan Sarandon, Anne Francis, Donald O’Connor, many others. A pity it wasn’t a hit – though, done any later, Hutton would not have been alive to play Queen, a role that fit him like a glove.

Ellery Queen

Season 1 Ep.03: The Adventure of the Lover’s Leap

Stephanie Kendrick, a wealthy fountain pen heiress, is found dead on the front lawn of her mansion. Prior to her death she was reading Ellery’s book “The Adventure of the Lover’s Leap” and it seems that she acted out a passage in the book which leads to her to jump from her bedroom balcony. Inspector Queen thinks her death is suicide, but Ellery seems to have other thoughts when a Technical Print Man finds a small chard of glass on the balcony. Later during the questioning of suspects, Simon Brimmer arrives at the Kendrick mansion and, in his typical pompous fashion, offers his help to Inspector Queen solve what he concludes to be a murder. Ultimately, Brimmer brings the cast together at the conclusion to disclose the guilty party, but Ellery finds the exact time to speak up and reveal the killer’s identity.

Season 1 Ep.02: The Adventure Of Auld Lang Syne

The time: 10:00 pm, New Year’s Eve, 1946. The place: The ballroom of the Hotel Astor. The victim: Mr. Marcus Halliday. And the suspects: the son (and his gold-digging girlfriend), the untrusted nephew, the long-time secretary (and her brand new fiance), and the new business partner stealing from the company behind the victim’s back. The soon-to-be victim has just announced that he plans to disinherit all of the above before the night is out – only to be found minutes later, slumped over in a nearby phone booth.
