Plot

A delicious spoof of every iconic detective the silver screen and popular literature has ever managed to conjure up. Invited to a suitably foreboding mansion by a suitably creepy recluse our super sleuths are informed that a murder will be committed and one million is up for grabs for the first of them to uncover the killer. Written by Neil Simon and with a cast to (oh sod it) die for, Murder By Death is a delightfully foolish and farcical whodunit.
