Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 5.0
farce on mysteries and detectives
This movie includes an all star cast portraying different famous detectives- Sam Spade, Jessica Marples, Hercule Peroit, and Sidney Wang, searching for some answers when invited to a mansion of their soon to be deceased host. Locked in the house, they must find out who done it? who are the staff? whats for dinner?. With stuffed mooses that stare, rooms decked in spun sugar cobwebs, and a ready to assemble maid in a trunk, each scene has some quirk that seems to make sense to one of the detectives...but nothing to the viewer. All in all the movie is more of a parady of mystery stories and detectives, how their cases were always so complex, and how they never seemed to make complete sense...until of course the end. Be surprised though, this ending makes little sense either, but in a good way.
