Inspector Morse: The Wench Is Dead Movie Review 1998

Morse (Thaw) has decided to solve a 140-year-old murder. Why? Well, because he's bored--after a hospital stay and on medical leave, he needs something to occupy his mind while he's also forced to think about retirement. A book on the infamous Oxford Canal Murder of 1859 engages his curiosity and he's off and bullying. Based on the novel by Colin Dexter.
