Review of Murder by Death (1976) by Robyn M — 30 Jul 2012
Great comedy tribute to the Murder Mystery Genre written by Neil Simon.
Peter Sellers and his now rather racist old Chinese man character disapoints on many levels. Its not terrible but its not great either, nice sets and a lovely film poster illustrated by Charles 'The Addams Family' Addams.
Some legendary names in this line up such as Sellers, Guinness, Falk, Lanchester, Niven and Smith but that can't quite stop it from being rather silly and slightly disappointing in my humble view. If you think along the lines of 'Clue' then you will know the angle of this film, its just a bit more off the wall and I think, similar to poor taste characters.
