Peter Davison stars as bespectacled, aristocratic private detective Albert Campion in this two-part adaptation of Margery Allingham's novel Dancers in Mourning (published in the US as Who Killed Chloe?. A new musical production starring 1930s song-and-dance favorite Jimmy Sutane (
Ian Ogilvy) may never open, due to a particularly vicious practical joker who has been staging several "accidents." Campion and his assistant Lugg (
Brian Glover) repair to White Walls, Sutane's country estate, to get to the bottom of the sabotage. What begins as a series of nasty pranks evolves into something far more sinister with the mysterious death of bitchy Chloe Pye (Patricia Brake). Along the way, Campion falls for one of Sutane's coworkers--who promptly vanishes. In America, "{Dancers in Mourning" was telecast December 13 and 20, 1990, as part of the PBS anthology Mystery! ~ Hal Erickson, All Movie Guide
