Mysterious Circumstance: The Death of Meriwether Lewis (2022)
A Fun Historical Mystery . . . With a Dog!
Tired of politics? A great time to watch Mysterious Circumstance: The Death of Meriwether Lewis! This historical mystery was filmed along Natchez Trace, where Lewis died in the early 1900s. Mindfulness in location and presentation provides a historically accurate portrayal of this two-hundred-year-old mystery. Hints of things to come are foretold throughout; a shot of Robert Grinder holding the knife once owned by Lewis, for example. In the style of the comedic murder mystery "Clue," different scenarios of that night are depicted, which take the viewer from the original claim that Lewis committed suicide through evolving theories based on information that became known through the years. The main characters do a wonderful job of modifying their character's traits to fit the different stories, including the dog! Meriwether's dog Seaman is mentioned often in the journals from the Lewis & Clark Expeditions, and he also plays an active role in the movie as well, traveling through the Natchez Trace with Lewis to tell the shifting tale of that dark night. It is documented that Lewis was so fond of Seaman he once sent a scout team to retrieve the dog when he was stolen by Indians during the Expedition, and that relationship is captured here. Seaman's final scene with Meriwether may just bring a tear to your eyes, but in a good way! Kudos to Scriptwriter/Director Clark Richey for including Lewis' canine companion in a way that leaves no doubt Meriwether loved his dog, which is just one more reason to enjoy this entertaining flick!
