Murder by Death (1976)

Second viewing; previously viewed between 1983 and 1986.

A millionaire invites several renowned detectives to a dinner in his mansion. He announces there is going to be a murder inside the house.

Mostly unfunny parody, with an uninspired script. There is a noticeable effort to capture the clichés of the whodunit genre (with a hardboiled detective thrown in for contrast), but it is all done in a rather mechanical manner.

Rating: 36 (down from 51)
