Directed by Joyce Chopra, Murder in a Small Town stars Gene Wilder as a successful Broadway director who moves to Connecticut after suffering a tragic loss. Before long, the local police find that they could use his help -- his penchant for nailing human psychology and its motivations is uncanny, and it may help solve a strange murder case. The film also features Cherry Jones, Deirdre O'Connell, Mike Starr, and Frances Conroy.
