Death of an Expert Witness (1983)
Member Rating:  
Roy Marsden stars as Commander Adam Dalgliesh in this made-for-television adaptation of the novel by P.D. James. Edwin Lorrimer (Geoffrey Palmer) is a noted forensic scientist who is often called upon to testify in court proceedings as an expert witness, and when he dies as a result of foul play, Dalgliesh is called in to investigate. Lorrimer was killed inside the building where he worked, and given the tight security of his offices, initial police research assumes that someone who worked alongside Lorrimer is the most likely culprit. However, the longer Dalgliesh looks into the murder, the more he's convinced the answer lies elsewhere. Originally aired as a three-part miniseries, Death of an Expert Witness also features John Vine, Barry Foster, and Brenda Blethyn. ~ Mark Deming, Rovi

Death of an Expert Witness is imcomplete, Disc has parts 1&2 but leaves us without a solution/ending. stupid way to leave a movie. Where is part 3 if there is one???

Yes   |   No

This was the wrong movie copied onto this disk! I still do not know how this case ended because although Blockbuster sent me three copies of the Part 2 DVD, all three DVDs had another movie copied onto them, not the third part of this title, SOOOOO - I don't know how it ended and I am truly unhappy because I love Marsden as Dagliesh and I wanted to see how he concluded this case - too bad for us!

Long & slow, but if you stay with it, it is fun. Very complex plot, many prospective murderers, hard to solve.

Filmed in a "cheap" manner. VERY, VERY slow pace although it is a good story.

The only disc I've received has episode 1 and 2. The last half of the series is missing. There should be at least 1 more episode to tie up who murdered Edwin and, there is also one other important character who is murdered after episode 2. A big disappointment.
