Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 5.0
one of the funniest movies ever made!
the first time i saw this movie, i was nine or ten years old, at a birthday party. i haven't stopped watching it since! not many people have heard of this film, which is really too bad because it's such a classic comedy spoof. it's bizarre, it's witty, and it's absolutely hilarious. every time you watch it, you catch something new that you didn't notice before. it has a fantastic cast - my favorite character is sidney wang, played by peter sellers - the greatest one-liners from the film are all his: "conversation like television set on honeymoon. unnecessary!" and i love that a gong plays every time he speaks. i also love the pure comedic genius of the scenes between the blind butler and the deaf-mute maid. i don't want to give away all the jokes so i'll stop now - i just want to give this movie my highest recommendation, it is definitely worth buying!
