About This Movie

Murder in Music City is a 1979 TV movie that combines elements of comedy and mystery. Directed by an unknown filmmaker, the film features a brash songwriter who becomes embroiled in a murder investigation during his honeymoon in Nashville.

The film follows a songwriter who purchases a detective agency for tax benefits. His plans take an unexpected turn when he and his bride discover a dead body in their honeymoon suite. This leads them on a puzzling journey through the world of country music and into the heart of Nashville.

With a cast that includes Sonny Bono, Lee Purcell, and Morgan Fairchild, the film blends humor with intrigue. It captures the essence of the late 1970s TV movie style, making it a unique watch for fans of the genre. The combination of comedy and mystery, alongside the backdrop of the country music scene, adds an interesting layer to the narrative.

This film had a somewhat limited release, primarily as a TV movie, which makes it a bit scarce in collector circles. Formats include VHS and a few rare digital versions, but it hasn’t seen a significant restoration effort. Despite its niche appeal, there’s a growing interest among collectors, especially those who appreciate quirky genre blends from the late '70s.
