Ratings and reviews

Every scene is memorable and it's a fun quirky twist on an Agatha Christie style murder mystery. Everyone in the cast is perfect and this is a brilliant classic comedic film..

A funny movie. One of my favorites. It always has been. Great set decorating. Great acting. Some laugh out loud dialogue even after more than 30 viewings and 40 yrs. Not to mention the one of a kind cast, each one perfect in their performances. Highly recommended.

My mother and I loved this movie. We saw it twice in the theater and several times on home video. Definitely worth owning because there are so many funny moments.
