The Murder That Wouldn't Die

This film showcases William Conrad in the lead role as a retired detective who takes on the dual responsibilities of a college security chief and assistant football coach. Set against the backdrop of Hawaii, the narrative unfolds as he delves into two murders that happened nearly four decades apart, aided by a cast of supporting characters including his niece and a local football player.

Though it was intended as a pilot for a new series called "Battles" following the success of "Cannon," this project remains a standalone film. The unique combination of crime and mystery elements, paired with the setting and character dynamics, makes it an interesting watch for fans of the genre. The film's production by Glen A. Larson Productions and Universal Television adds a layer of credibility and interest for collectors of TV movies from this era.
