Blue Murder is an Australian live television play which aired in 1959 on ABC. Broadcast live in Sydney on 2 December 1959, a kinescope ("telerecording") was made of the broadcast so it could be shown in Melbourne (it is not known if it was also shown on ABC's then-new stations in Adelaide and Brisbane). It was set in Sydney's North Shore.[1] It was a drama about the murder of an aging actress. It was written by George F. Kerr. It is not known if the kinescope recording still exists. Duration was 60 minutes.
