Singing Detective - Tv Series R2 (Uk Import) - Amiel, JonReleasedatum: 8 maart 2004
From one of the great experimentalists of TV drama comes a compellingly original tour-de-force which mingles fantasy and reality with haunting hit songs of the 1940's. The award-winning The Singing Detective, acclaimed as Dennis Potter's masterpiece, is a dazzlingly entertaining and multi-layered mystery thriller with a distinguished cast. Wracked by a terrible skin disease, the unsuccessful writer Phillip Marlow (Michael Gambon) looks cynically back on life from his bed in a busy National Health hospital, fantasising himself into one of his own pulp thrillers as a crooning '40's detective enmeshed in a baffling murder case. But memories of his wartime childhood keep intruding – as do songs like 'Blues in the Night', 'Dry Bones' and 'Cruising Down The River'. Unwillingly, Marlow agrees to talk to a psychotherapist – and, slowly, the clues begin to add up. But to what?
