Murder by Death (1976)
Murder by Laughing to Death
Peter Sellers as an old wise-guy Chinese man already has me laughing. 'Murder by Death' is a brilliant spoof of murder/mystery. I was at first reluctant to sit down and watch it because I am not a fan of mystery, but when it was finished my sides were still hurting. It was so over-the-top ridiculous you can't help but laugh. Between the blind butler, deaf and mute cook, and disgustingly confusing conclusion I think I will always think of this film when I hear the words murder or mystery. It is appealing on so many levels as well. There is physical comedy, witty remarks, incredibly stupid traps and escapes, and hilarious characters. I would recommend this film to anyone and everybody, those who like mystery and those who don't because everyone can laugh at it.
