There was a 1980 film called "Dressed To Kill" featuring a male murderer in women's clothes, but there the similarity ends. Robert Morse's voice acting is fantastic, switching between male and female voices with apparent effortlessness. Crime thriller, no supernatural elements.

Intersting "Crack in the Wall" has a plot that may have inspired Tobe Hooper's "Poltergeist" now this - "Mad Men"'s Robert Morse in a "Tootsie" like tale. More sinister motives then Dustin Hoffman's though...

I knew there was NO WAY he could possibly get away with it. Even by 1970's standards, but it was still fun to listen to him try.

An out of work, but wiley and charismatic young actor plots a performance that will make use of his talents and net him a bunch of cash... staging his own accidental death, then playing the part of his wife to collect the double indemnity insurance. I enjoyed this episode and was surprised by the voice of the insurance agent who, in my file, is unidentified at the end because the file was clipped. Perhaps you'll recognize him too!
