The world's greatest detectives have been invited to dinner. But when murder is on the menu, who will make it to dessert? You are cordially invited to join an all-star cast featuring Peter Sellers, David Niven, Peter Falk, James Coco, Elsa Lanchester, Maggie Smith, Alec Guinness, Eileen Brennan, Nancy Walker, James Cromwell and Estelle Winwood for Neil Simon's hilarious murder-mystery spoof Murder By Death.
The isolated mansion of eccentric millionaire Lionel Twain (Truman Capote) is the setting for the twisted puzzler. Twain informs his guests that one of them will be murdered at the stroke of midnight. The pay-off: $1 million to whoever lives through the night. Murder By Death cleverly sends up both the mystery genre and the characterisations of a host of these instantly recognisable gumshoes. Match wits with the super sleuths, but remember, you can't win if you end up dying from laughter!

With a cast including Peter Falk, Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith, David Niven and Estelle Winwood this is certainly the most amazingly acted spoof you will ever see. The jokes and plot twists come thick and fast as every A-List celeb is thrown into a night of murder, mystery and full on mayhem trapped within the walls of a mansion owned by a man who looks mysteriously like Truman Capote... By the time the world's greatest detective's figure out who-dunnit, you could die laughing!
