THRILLER
Episode 39: NIGHTMARE FOR A NIGHTINGALE
Written by Brian Clemens
Produced by Ian Fordyce
Directed by John Scholz-Conway
(tx date April 24, 1976)
US: Melody of Hate
Opera singer Anna Cartell intends to put an end to her career and to marry American Hal Bridie - to the dismay of her manager, Sam. Events take a nasty turn when Anna's ex-husband Tony returns from the dead.
Die populäre Opernsängerin Anna Cartell will ihre Karriere beenden, um den Diplomaten Hal Bridie zu heiraten – sehr zum Verdruß von Annas Manager Sam. Dann begegnet Anna ihrem totgeglaubten Ehemann.
Das große Problem in dieser ansonsten recht gelungenen Folge ist, daß man schon recht früh weiß, wie der Hase läuft. Es läßt sich darüber streiten, ob das Opernmilieu für zusätzliche reizvolle Aspekte sorgt.
