Product: Murder by Death (1976)
Rating: 3.0
An Amusing Gathering of Sleuths
The last time I saw this movie during it's original theatrical run back in 1976 (3 or 4 times actually) when I was a kid. I thought it was the funniest movie I had ever seen. I revisited it on DVD recently for the first time since then and my enthusiasm for it has waned some. It's still a very funny picture. Most of the jokes are hit or miss, but there's enough there to justify a recommendation. Peter Falk and Peter Sellers are the standouts in a uniformly good comic cast. I certainly like this infinitely better than the more "serious" comedies Neil Simon wrote for Marsha Mason ("Goodbye Girl", please!).
