Author: Patrick K. Walsh June 26, 2026 Duration: 1:45:17

Welcome aboard Polyester Airlines for another trip back in time to the decade that gave us Horeshack, ABBA and Whatchamacallits for SHE'S DRESSED TO KILL starring Connie Sellecca, Jessica Walter and John Rubenstein was the NBC Monday Night Movie.

Your captain, Patrick Walsh, is waiting to whisk you away to the night of December 10, 1979 for this spine-tingling whodunnit about glamorous models at a mountaintop fashion show who are getting murdered one by one...with their own makeup!!!

  • Was it the Whiskey-Guzzling Designer?
  • Or her Draft-Dodging Assistant?
  • Or the Queeny Critic?
  • Or The Ugliest Girl in the World?

It's like Agatha Christie did a boatload of blow, and you're gonna love it.

Your copilot on this ill-advised voyage into flimsy negligées, leg of mutton sleeves and deadly hairspray is the fabulous MARTIN MCKEON.

Watch SHE'S DRESSED TO KILL on YouTube here.

She's Dressed to Kill was directed by Gus Trikonis, written by George Lefferts and stars Connie Sellecca, Jessica Walter, Eleanor Parker, John Rubenstein, Joanna Cassidy, Clive Revill, Peter Horton, Gretchen Corbett and Jonathan Banks
