The Adventures of Ellery Queen ran on the Dumont Television Network from October 19, 1950 to December 6, 1951, and then on ABC from December 16, 1951 to November 26, 1952 for a total of 93 episodes. Richard Hart originally played Ellery, but he died of a sudden heart attack in January 1951 and the role was taken over by Lee Bowman, who continued throughout the series. Florenz Ames played Ellery's father, Inspector Richard Queen.
The program was shot in Kinescope before a live audience. As such, a n umber of episodes are now lost and many are degraded."Murder to Music" was the eighth episode of Dumont's second season.
"An ambitious young pianist won't let anyone prevent her from making her debut, even if it means murdering the conductor's wife." Also in the cast were Jerome Cowan and Rolfe Sedan. Rex Marshall served as the announcer.
Directed by Don Richardson, one of 20 episodes he did for the show. The script was by Helene Hanff, who penned eleven episodes of the show; she was best known for her book 84, Charing Cross Road.
It's time to match wits with Ellery. Is there a better way to ring in the new year?
