Remarkably, the film is based on a real event. But it takes off from that base and becomes a screwball comedy in the classic style.
Wonderfully droll performances are given by everyone in this Hitchcock-like farce about a murder that doesn't quite work and a man who just won't die. Joan Plowright steals every scene she is in -- which isn't easy in a film that is full of so many zany plot twists and hilarious lines of dialogue.
This film is a little gem of a comedy. See it if you can.
