One Shoe Makes It Murder (TV Movie)

Robert Mitchum takes a walk on the wild side in his TV acting debut, a suspenseful tale of blackmail and murder co-starring Angie Dickinson and Mel Ferrer.

Harold Shillman (Mitchum) used to be the best on the force. Now he’s a washed up ex-cop, too down on his luck to care. So when he’s hired to find the missing wife of a Tahoe casino owner (Ferrer), no one’s more surprised than Shillman. Tracking her down to a San Francisco highrise, he arrives in time to watch her fall to her death.

Unsure if she jumped or was pushed, Shillman hooks up with a woman from the victim’s past (Dickinson) to help unravel a web of lies and expose the unsavory truth.

Based on the 1981 novel So Little Cause for Caroline by Emmy® Award winner, Eric Bercovici, One Shoe Makes It Murder first aired on CBS-TV in November 1982, and was nominated for the Mystery Writers of America’s Edgar® Award as Best TV Feature.
