Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 5.0
EXCELLENT!
The cast list may be enough for 5 stars. But, this film goes over the top with the story. Various top-notch, super fame, genius detectives are invited to a mansion for the weekend. Somebody dies and everyone in the elite group is pit against each other as well as a rampant killer and eclectic host.I saw this film in high school, a private school where I think the teaching clergy believed this film to be rated G. When you see the scene where the "butler" is in the kitchen and David Nivens is investigating, you will understand what a lasting memory it was for me and my student peers. The nuns couldn't stop the bombastic laughter!
