Orson Welles tried to solve a murder on live TV and it went magnificently wrong.
In 1956, Orson Welles directed "The Tragedy of Lurs," an episode of the television series "Around the World" that was inspired by the murder of a British family near the Dominici farm. The film was unfinished, but the French director Christophe Cognet recovered his materials and reconstructed the documentary.
