"Candidate for Murder" features a rare leading role for actor Michael Gough. He is mainly remembered for his portrayal of Alfred in a few "Batmam" movies and for his horror film appearances. He delivers the goods in this film as a possessive husband who plots to have his wife killed by a German hit man. However, all is not how it appears.... I enjoyed the scene where Michael Gough and the hit man confront each other about the terms and conditions of the contract. The film builds to a respectable conclusion.

A man arrives in Britain and is taken in charge by a husband - Michael Gough - who wants him to do something...We guess that's it is not the cleaning of his house. The arriving guy is a tough man, with a gun and we find no long after that's the murder of Gough's wife it is all about. The crime is made and the following is not so foreseeable for the evil husband - actually widower. A really good UK product, as usual with the Edgard Wallace Mystery episodes, or films.I don't know the director; I guess he made many of this kind of stuff for TV.Don't miss it.
