A Very English Murder (1974): cast, story & where to watch

Released in 1974, A Very English Murder is a mystery series.

What it’s about. A classic detective story based on one of the best-loved Golden Age crime writers, Cyril Hare, novel "An English Murder" originally published in 1951. The setting of An English Murder seems, at first, to be a very conventional one. A group of family and friends come together for Christmas at a country house, Warbeck Hall. The house is owned by Lord Warbeck, a dying and impoverished peer who wants to be among loved ones for what he thinks will be his last Christmas. The holiday decorations are up and snow is falling fast outside. The guests range from the Lord's difficult son to a visiting Czech historian. There is, of course, a faithful butler and his ambitious daughter. But when the murders begin, there is nothing at all conventional about them - or the manner of their detection...

Who’s in it. A Very English Murder stars Boris Ivanov as сэр Джулиус Уорбек, Aleksey Batalov as Доктор Ботвинк, Georgi Taratorkin as Роберт Уорбек and Irina Muravyova as Сюзанна, among others.
