Murder By Death - Murder by Laughter
The five greatest classical detectives are invited to a dinner.....and a murder. Sight gags run amok; plot twists go giggling down the darkened hall; and the cast in this parody of the great 1930 mystery movies includes: Alec Guinness ("the dead, naked, blind butler in the kitchen"); David Niven (Dick Charleston); Peter Falk (Sam Diamond), Peter Sellers (Inspector Wang); James Coco (Monsieur Perrier) and Elsa Lanchester (Jessica Marbles). They're joined by Truman Capote (the host....and the victim?) as well as a hilarious supporting cast in this tongue-in-cheek whodunnit from a Neil Simon stage play.
