Rating: 5.0
Murder by Luaghter and great skill
oK oK SO this isnt citzen cane but with so many great stars including Peter Sellers Truman Capote and Peter Falk among others this is a fantatis film for the right audiences - those that love great dry humor and classicly written film. The story is that the five most brilliant detectives from around the world are invited to dinner by an eccenric millionaire Lionel Tait to solve a murder that has not happended yet. Each of the guests have some connection to their host and a reason to murder. But theirs also a reason to solve the case - 1 million dollars (in 1976 that WAS a lot of money). This film makes a mockey and comedy of the events that transpire as the guests attempt to solve the murder. Sellers and Capote show off their brilliance and the jokes, though sometimes a bit stupid are funny. This film is way beeter than clue and far funnier than the recent Pink Panther. If you are looking for something funny that is classic and safe for the family this is a sure fire hit.Enjoy this.Ted Murena
