Murder by Death-7.0/10

Not rated-But if I would say PG13, it was made in '76 so the cussing is minimal.

To start off let me inform you this movie was made in 1976. It's a comdey starring Truman Capote(a movie was recently made about him called 'Capote'). Although he stars in it, he isn't in it that much... Other actors include David Niven, Peter Falk, Peter Sellers, Alec Guinness, and some other people you probably don't know. It's a spoof whodunit comedy, with some pretty funny lines. Although, keep in mind, this is the '70s and as such, some may be offended by Peter Sellers character, Wang, the Japanese defective. Almost as racist as 'Breakfast at Tiffany's'. As for storyline, basically a handful of top notch detectives get invited, and then trapped in a mansion to solve a murder. For you people who have no idea who any of the people are I mentioned above, David Niven and Peter Sellers were in the original Pink Panther. Peter Falk was in... Columbo? And Alec Guiness was Obi-Wan Kenobi in Star Wars:A new hope. I'd recommend this movie, although all you kids these days with your iPhones and skateboards and such may not find this humor... Humorous...
