MURDER BY NUMBERS is intriguing enough to make one weep at the missed opportunities and carelessness in the movie's execution. Exceedingly well acted, it is that rare mystery whose solution is almost impossible to guess. There are so many possible suspects that suspense fans will be trying
to unravel the mystery right up to the last minute. When Walter (Wlad Cembrowicz), a wealthy homosexual, disappears, his sister, Leslie (Debra Sandlund), inveigles her former husband, Lee Bolger (Sam Behrens), a lawyer, into investigating the case. Why has realestate broker Patrick Crain (Dick
Sargent), who discovered Walter's body in his bathtub, removed the corpse and hidden it...
