"Loved this movie as a kid! A Neil Simon film from 1976, with a fabulous cast, a funny story and clever writing. If you’re a fan of Clue the movie, then you will appreciate this. A send-up of the old whodunnit movies, and featuring Alec Guinness (the OG Obi Wan Kenobi), Peter Sellers and David Niven (the OG Pink Panther movies), Eileen Brennan (Clue), Peter Falk (Columbo), Maggie Smith (Downton Abbey), James Cromwell (Babe), James Coco (Who’s The Boss) and Truman Capote (in a rare acting role). A classic. On Apple."

"If you love the classic Era of cozy mysteries, these riffs on golden age detectives will be familiar to you. Even without that, this is a funny movie. Notably, it has Truman Capote in a memorable roll."
