So, 'Ein Mord liegt auf der Hand' is this 1983 TV movie that blends comedy and crime in a rather curious way. The story revolves around Count Carl-Enno zu Wutzbach, who, in a tight financial spot, decides to marry off his daughter Sylvia to a brewery owner, Oscar Betzel. It’s all pretty standard until a fortune teller throws a wrench into the works with a chilling prophecy about murder. The tone is almost whimsical, yet it has these darker undercurrents that keep you guessing. The pacing is a bit uneven, but that adds to its charm. You get some quirky performances that lean into the absurdity of the situation, making it distinct from more straightforward crime flicks. Definitely has that unique TV film vibe.
