The British-taped A Coffin for the Bride stars Michael Jayston as physical fitness nut Mark Walker. It turns out that Walker is a nut in more ways than one: His primary method of keeping financially fit is to commit murder. His modus operandi is to work his way into the confidence of out-of-shape wealthy women, lure them into marriage, and then put them out of the way--six feet under. The brilliant British actress Helen Mirren costars in a dual role, as both the victim and vanquisher of the enterprising Mr. Walker. A Coffin for the Bride was given its first American showing on ABC's latenight anthology Wide World Mystery.
