Rehearsal for Murder (1982)

Under the bright lights of Broadway, a tragedy unfolds. A dazzling leading lady meets her untimely end, seemingly by suicide, after a string of mixed reviews on opening night. Her loss sends ripples of sorrow and confusion through the theatre circuit, but none are more affected than her fiancé, an illustrious playwright. He finds the circumstances of her demise suspicious, refusing to accept the conclusion that her life ended by her own hand. A year later, he orchestrates a reunion, calling forth the original cast, the director, and the producer under the guise of reading for his new play. The theatre, once brimming with applause and laughter, is now laden with an undercurrent of tension and unresolved mystery. As the old friends gather, they reminisce about the fateful night that changed their lives forever. The playwright's plan, however, extends far beyond a simple read-through. When moving men and a police lieutenant arrive unexpectedly, it becomes chillingly clear that this is no ordinary rehearsal. It's a meticulously designed trap, a stage set for a real-life drama, all to catch a killer hidden among them. In this intriguing tale of deceit and suspicion, nothing is as it seems. Unraveling the truth becomes a game of smoke and mirrors, where each line read, each scene enacted, brings them closer to the shocking reality. The script, the stage, the actors - all are pawns in this twisted play of revenge and justice. In the grand theatre of Broadway, this is their 'Rehearsal for Murder', a spellbinding performance where the curtain doesn't fall until the killer is unmasked.
