Definitely a Favorite
With 186 reviews already, so much has already been said about this terrific movie. It ranks up there as probably my favorite movie of all time, apart from a bunch of Vincent Price shows.In any case, I watch this thing probably once a year or more as a tradition. And though I know probably the whole thing by heart (a la The Holy Grail), it is still a joy to watch it. The characters are wonderful, the actors are even more so. Being a huge Peter Sellers fan probably pushes my bias meter over, but so what. Throw in David Niven, Peter Falk, Captoe--the cast could not have been better, I think.There is, of course, a final twist in this thing. For those who have not watched it before, it is one of the better ones out there, and a prime way for Simon to poke at all of the pulp mystery writers and their works.Go get this movie and watch it.
