Cissie Colpitts drowns her cheating husband and, in the ensuing cover-up, enlists the help of lonely coroner Henry Madgett, an old friend with a longstanding weakness for her charms.

Drowning by Numbers - http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0092929/
- It's gorgeous. Not like a movie, but like a collection of hundreds of beautiful pictures. - It's geeky. I had to watch the movie dozens of times and read the script to understand all the allusions and references.
