Death of a Doxy
featuring clips from the A&E Series' overseas widescreen version with
“Missing Minutes”& a demonstration of
Imagination & Invention in the productionion
Do you remember laughing at Julie Jacquette’s letter at the end of Death of a Doxy? In the A&E production, the producers brought this scene to life by showing the actress on campus and having her read the letter aloud. What do you think? Which do you prefer, the written word or the visual expression? Join us as we discuss the place of invention or imagination in converting the tiny scenes embedded in the Nero Wolfe stories into unforgettable television moments.
