This show has everything going for it, in fact, it has Too much going for it: tragic drama, silly comedy, bland heart-tugs and saucy romance. Everybody’s working across purposes, with ‘stunt’ guest star Bobby Darin preening for awards attention. Angie Dickinson, Tony Curtis and Eddie Albert are terrific but are acting in different movies; and Gregory Peck seems out of his depth altogether. Does it keep our attention? You bet. Does it work? I’m not so sure.

No, not a blind Sherlock Holmes, but a blind Van Johnson, who directs his butler, his girlfriend Vera Miles and the London police to thwart a crime based on something he overheard in a bar. Henry Hathaway directs a complicated murder mystery that plays like a combo of Rear Window and Wait Until Dark, with a cranky Van Johnson as the central character.

For Delia Ephron, the screenwriter, essayist and novelist behind films like “You’ve Got Mail” and books like “The Lion Is In,” writing is a form of therapy. That’s not a surprise, given that her parents were screenwriters Phoebe and Henry Ephron (“Desk Set”) and her sister was none other than the late, great Nora Ephron, who routinely cooked up romantic comedy confections like “When Harry Met Sally” and “Sleepless in Seattle.” So when her sister died in 2012 at the age of 71 from cancer, and the world mourned her talent, Delia Ephron retreated from the flood of encomiums and obituaries.

Nora Ephron's fears her childhood would have scarred her had she been born any later - because her parents were worsening alcoholics her whole life. The When Harry Met Sally writer was born to feted scriptwriters Henry Ephron and Pheobe Ephron, but suffered at the hands of their dual addiction. Nora holds a deep love for her parents and respects their legendary body of work, which includes the scripts for musicals Carousel and There's No Business Like Show Business, but she refuse to forgive them for the torture their alcoholism inflicted on her younger siblings. She explains, "(They were alcoholics) in a bad way. Not in a charming way. But I had most of their good years - I was really lucky. I had them at their most charming fun and generous and at their least crazy. I thought I grew up in as sitcom; my youngest sister thinks she grew up in a loony bin."...
