What movie am I thinking of?

Question

I want to remember a movie that I saw a long time ago. It is a murder mystery comedy that takes place in a radio station. It is set in the time when radio was like TV and the writer of the show is accidentally making it look like he is the murderer but really he is trying to figure out who it really is while also finishing writing the show that is taking place right then. Does anyone know what movie this is? Or at least the names of any of the actors in the movie? I would greatly appreciate it, this is driving me crazy!

No, it is not Scream 3. This movie is older, quite a bit older and it takes place in the 50s I believe.

Answer 1

This sounds like a movie I saw just the other day, but it's a book writer and not a radio station man. The movie I'm thinking of is called "Beyond a Reasonable Doubt" with Dana Andrews. The main character is writing a book about murders that have taken place, and it ends up looking like he is the murderer. I don't think this will help you, but the two sound similar.

Answer 2

Sounds like "HOW TO MURDER YOUR WIFE"

with Jack Lemmon except he was a cartoonist, not in radio.

Jack Lemmon is a happily unmarried man with all the creature comforts one could desire including a wonderful butler who takes care of all his material needs. At a bachelor party for a friend, Lemmon gets drunk and wakes up married to an Italian woman who speaks nearly no English. It totally alters his life. He even changes the cartoon he writes and shifts it from a secret agent to a household comedy. When he begins to have trouble with all of these changes he starts to plot that at least his secret agent cartoon will return to order and plans, in his daily comic strip, killing his wife. When she disappears, the cartoons are used as evidence at his trial.

Answer 3

um... i think Scream 3
