Hilarious Homicide : Neil Simon’s “Murder by Death” (1976)
Description
It’s our “Trick or Treat” episode! And no movie is full of more tricks, or treats, than Neil Simon’s 1976 classic “Murder by Death” Packed with wit and an oddball cast of literary detectives, this 1976 film offers more than just mystery; it serves up a cocktail of laughter and intrigue. We honor the late Dame Maggie Smith and her role in this cinematic gem that turns the traditional whodunit on its head. With a plot orchestrated by the enigmatic Lionel Twain, played by Truman Capote in a rare film appearance, the twists and absurdities keep you guessing and giggling in equal measure.
