Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 4.0
Movie- excellent- DVD release- lacking, think about VHS
The movie is an excellent spoof of all the mystery detectives that hold out vital bits of information until the final pages....I'm not a huge Neil Simon fan but this one is just plain fun. It helps that I grew up reading Christie, watching the Thin Man movies, etc.Potential purchasers should be aware, though, that the DVD release isn't remastered that well, and in fact scenes are cut that are present in the video! Scenes that, in my opinion, are among the funniest in the movie.Buy the DVD for an archival copy of a great movie if you like; but you may want to find a used VHS copy for the full movie experience.
