5424-1997 PAT WERTHEIM USA Retired FBI; wants to solve the world's most perfect murder; that of Sir Harry Oakes in the Bahamas. An attempt was made to frame the son-in-law of Sir Harry, Count ALFRED deMARIGNY (2172- 1992) for the crime, but it did not work. A made- for-TV movie named PASSION & PARADISE was made about this killing - the producer was RICOU BROWNING (60-1984) who began his career as the guy in the fish suit in the movie 'CREATURE FROM THE BLACK LAGOON' and who produced such early TV hits as FLIPPER and the Mike Nelson diver series SEA HUNT. Much of the camera work in PASSION was done by JOHN McLAUGHLIN (138-1985).
