Dead Man's Island

1996 · 88 min

A cozy, star-studded whodunit that ambles through suspects on a stormy island, pleasant and undemanding rather than gripping.

Chase, a wealthy businessman with money woes, hopes Henrie O. can discover the person he thinks is trying to kill him. It seems like she has her work cut out for her. Possible suspects include Chase's much younger wife, his son, and many others.
