Synopsis by Hal Erickson
Kathleen Widdoes plays a suburban housewife who opens the door to her husband's study one day and finds him stone cold dead. A detailed suicide note lies near the body. Terrified that she'll lose out on her husband's valuable insurance policies, Widdoes burns the note and rearranges the evidence to suggest that hubby had been murdered. Bradford Dillman is the insurance investigator who thinks he's tumbled into Widdoes' secret--or has he? Frugally photographed on videotape, Please Call It Murder was a January 1975 entry of the late-night ABC anthology The Wide World Mystery.
