Affluent people live an affluent lifestyle with vague hints of something else going on. Except in Secrets, Columbo never shows up.
Everyone (and I mean everyone) is white, straight and extremely early 90's. They're also, despite what the title says, distinctly lacking in juicy secrets.
I bought this for 98p on Amazon. Because it was 98p and had bloody Christopher Plummer in it.
Basic 'plot' is that they're glamorous actors making a glamorous Dallas style show. They all have problems in their personal life they are trying to keep hidden.
The story is dull, the dialogue is just awful and the soundtrack is like it was a made for a different film and it's just playing over random scenes.
Oh, and everyone is rich. The only exception being a pair of trailer-trash blackmailers and a drugged up prostitute, all of whom are minor characters and meet unhappy ends.
But that's okay because literally all the rich folks find bright futures. Including the young actor kid whose stands trial for the murder of his drugged up prostitute wife.
A wife, he hasn't told anyone in the show about. And who is now conveniently dead leaving him free to pursue a glowing TV career and the love of a millionaire heiress (who he sleeps with the day after the funeral).
He's got no alibi. He's got the motive. He doesn't suggest any other suspects. And yet everyone is so sure 'a kid like that' is innocent. The jury let him off after Christopher Plummer testifies to his good character. A happy ending, yay!
But what about the murdered wife? Who actually did that? Oh, wait, the film doesn't care
