It represents the last leading role and film for Gene Wilder and his last credit as screenwriter.

Plot summary

Cast

Production

After the high ratings A&E received for Murder in a Small Town, the first Cash Carter mystery, The Lady in Question began filming in Toronto in May 1999.[4]

Although A&E and Granada Entertainment USA planned to develop the Gene Wilder character as a franchise,[4][5] only two Cash Carter films were produced. On January 30, 2000, Wilder was admitted to Memorial Sloan–Kettering Cancer Center for a stem-cell transplant, a follow-up to treatment he received in 1999 for non-Hodgkin lymphoma. Wilder checked in under the name Larry Carter, his character's name in the two A&E films.[6]: 237
