Nightmares & Dreamscapes - Episode Three - Umney's Last Case - TV Mini Series - 2006 - Fantasy - HD

This series is an adaptation of one of Stephen King's most wonderful collection of short stories - the book is exceptional and if you haven't read it, you should most definitely do so.
Just eight of the stories were in the TV Mini Series, but they include many of my personal favourites.

The series aired on TV in 2006 - eight episodes over the course of four weeks.

Third episode is called "Umney's Last Case" - and could be my favourite from the series. It certainly was a wonderful story in the original book collection in 1993.

It has a brilliant performance by William H. Macy as both the private eye Clyde Umney, and the writer Samuel Landry.
It has a great twist which I won't give away here - now the TV show is a little different to the book, in how things are set up, and play out.
But it is still well done, with fine performances all round, with the final scene promising some revenge for events that occur.
Just fabulous.

Resolution increased to HD.
