9/10

I like how they integrated the old footage with the new.

Back in 1949, a lower-budgeted crime film came out...one that is pretty obscure today. "Strange Bargain" was a dandy picture...one I strongly recommend you watch.

So why did I mention this? Well, the folks who made "Murder, She Wrote" were able to re-assemble most of the cast of the old movie and used it to make "The Days Dwindle Down". To do this, they used a few scenes from the old movie and used them in a few flashback scenes to explain the 30 year-old crime.

So why would they use an old film? Well, Jessica is approached by a wife (Martha Scott) because her husband (Jeffery Lynn) served 30 years in fail for a murder he didn't commit...and she wants Jessica to investigate.

So is it any good? Well, I give this one a 9...so obviously I liked it. I also liked seeing all the old actors playing their old selves in the show. But what I really appreciated is how well it was all integrated with the old movie.....which was very clever.
