Product Description

 
Neil Simon's screenplay is a clever spoof on murder mysteries in which eccentric millionaire Lionel Twain (Truman Capote) invites the world's greatest detectives to his home and challenges them to solve the perfect murder. Among the sleuths that try to solve the case are Milo Perrier (James Coco), Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester), Dick and Dora Charleston (David Niven and Maggie Smith), and Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers), all of whom are easy-to-guess but altogether sharp parodies of beloved literary characters.

Never The Twain Shall Meet

Date of Review:  Jun 5, 2001
The Bottom Line: Neil Simon gives an all star cast plenty of one liners and comic situations in this spoof of 'Old Dark House' murder mysteries and familiar detectives from film and literature.
Review: I had some wonderful new publicity photographs taken yesterday by that vibrant new photographer, Sadie Mae Glutz. Dressed in a billowy black caftan and black turban, I am lounging against a giant telephone handset (a leftover prop from 'Land of the...

GUINNESS WRITEOFF -- Better late than never

Date of Review:  Aug 30, 2000
Review: As Epinions writeoffs go, I have bad karma on an almost Kervorkian level. I mean well, really I do, but nothing ever seems to go right for me ? meaning I can never get my hands on the right movie in the right span of time. So to Knix and the other...
