A Little Murder Never Hurt Anybody, by Ron Bernas, is a screwball comedy in which a husband and wife play a most dangerous game with a humorous twist. On New Year’s Eve, wealthy Matthew Perry envies his widower friend and pledges to kill his own wife so that he too may take up a careless single lifestyle. He hastily tells his wife Julia of his plan and she tells him about a resolution of her own: to be alive to make a toast at year’s end. As the plot unfolds, the spouses find themselves in the midst of a murder mystery while competing in a hilarious battle of wits – or witlessness.
