WHEN
THE
CURTAIN
COMES
UP
ON
TERROR
A
leading
lady
(Lynn
Redgrave)
seems
to
have
committed
suicide
after
mixed
reviews
on
opening
night.
Her
fianc
(Robert
Preston),
the
playwright,
knows
better.
A
year
later,
he
assembles
the
cast
(Patrick
Macnee,
Madolyn
Smith,
Jeff
Goldblum),
the
director
(William
Daniels)
and
the
producer
(Lawrence
Pressman)
to
read
scenes
from
his
new
play.
When
moving
men
and
a
police
lieutenant
show
up,
it
becomes
clear
this
is
more
than
a
rehearsal.
The
playwright
has
found
a
novel
way
to
catch
a
killer.
We
soon
learn
that
no
one
and
nothing
are
who
and
what
they
seem.
