Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 5.0
Classic Neil Simon!!!!
I have loved this movie from the very first moment I saw it for a number of reasons. First a very well-written spoof of murder mysteries with some top-notch jokes and some not so top-notch jokes. But when you look at the whole you are very pleasantly surprised and you will enjoy this project over and over again.Moreover, seeing such stalwart entertainment figures in the 70s is a REAL treat: Peter Falk, Maggie Smith, Elsa Lanchester, James Coco, James Crowell, Peter Sellers, Eileen Brennan, David Niven, Alec Guiness, Nancy Walker, and even Truman Capote and you are amazed at the caliber of the cast.It is a wonderful project, only to be matched by "The Cheap Detective" another Simon spoof.I HIGHLY recommend this particular project and if you are in to classic comedies you will love this!!!
