The Preview Murder Mystery

The plot follows a studio public relations man who attempts to trap a killer using television technology, allowing on-screen glimpses of technicians like Florey's cinematographer Karl Struss.From his description, this actor reflected elements of Rudolph Valentino and Lon Chaney, Sr.: he was an exotically handsome leading man and a master of disguise who appeared in many intense, weird roles.When an attempt is made to remake one of his starring vehicles as a musical, the effort seems cursed, with many accidents happening inexplicably.Morgan and a technician hide in a sound editing room and eavesdrop on productions.There is an iris out effect whenever they tune in to a soundstage and the audience sees the films being shot.
