Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 5.0
ever-fresh classic
Neil Simon's "Murder by Death" is an absolute, 100% hoot, from beginning to end. This classic spoof from 1976 remains funny and fresh--and, as an additional benefit, it's suitable for family viewing. All ages will appreciate the steady stream of visual, verbal, and even audio gags.The all-star cast members turn in fine performances in a suitably macabre "dark old house" setting. Peter Falk is especially good as film-noir detective Sam Diamond, and Peter Sellers matches him as San Francisco sleuth Sidney Wang.The movie stands up to repeat viewing for me, a person who usually lacks the desire to see presentations again. Five stars?Without a doubt this one deserves 10!
