Review of The List of Adrian Messenger (1963) by Monsieur R — 26 Dec 2010
A who done it about a crafty murderer who resorts to disguises to eliminate nearly a dozen people. A writer named Adrian Messenger (John Merivale) believes a series of apparently unrelated "accidental" deaths are actually linked murders. He asks his friend Anthony Gethryn (George C. Scott), recently retired from MI5, to help clear up the mystery.
The plot's routine in conception and excecution, but the fun here is to see if you can spot some stellar names--- Kirk Douglas, Robert Mitchum, Tony Curtis, Burt Lancaster, Frank Sinatra. All these folks made up in funny faces. Should provide a good time to mystery buffs.
