Movie Reviews of Murder by Death

Movie Review: Old Hollywood hilarity.
Summary: 5 Stars

I saw this movie as a kid and I still love it.
It's old folks, it's offensive, it's positively one of the funniest movies out there.
It's creepy, spooky and just plain fun.
The script is twisty and turny.
The acting is top notch.
The pacing is excellent.
Out of all the old Hollywood movies, I recommend this one the most.
A brilliant ending with a great musical score.
This movie is easily in my top twenty any time.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!!!!!!

Summary of Murder by Death

Neil Simon wrote this 1976 spoof in which virtually every famous fictional detective of the 1930s and 1940s congregate at the home of a mysterious fellow (Truman Capote) to try and solve the mystery of who's trying to kill them all. Simon's jokes are mostly obvious, and the film's real appeal is the clever concept matched with fine--sometimes legendary--actors. Peter Falk plays a very Bogart-like Sam Spade equivalent, James Coco is a Hercule Poirot wannabe, Peter Sellers does a Charlie Chan bit, David Niven and Maggie Smith are reflections of Nick and Nora.... You get the picture. Lighthearted and silly, this is cotton-candy comedy for the cast as well as viewers. --Tom Keogh
