Ozus' World Movie Reviews
Murder by Death is a very good silly-funny Neil Simon satirical comedy, with a super all-star cast cavorting as recognizable pulp fiction detectives gathered at the home of Truman Capote, wealthy hedonist fed up with contrived gumshoe plots.

Rating: 4/5 --
Generally successful send-up of classic mysteries with a lame finale.
Mountain Xpress (Asheville, NC)
The fault lies solely with Neil Simon's inadequate.

Rating: 3/5 --
A sometime funny satire on the old murder-mystery detective series of the 1930s and '40s. Some jokes hit, while others just bomb.
Journal and Courier (Lafayette, IN)
Rating: 3.5/5 --
Hit & miss mystery spoof hits more often than it misses.

Product Description:
Neil Simon's screenplay is a clever spoof on murder mysteries in which eccentric millionaire Lionel Twain (Truman Capote) invites the world's greatest detectives to his home and challenges them to solve the perfect murder. Among the sleuths that try to solve the case are Milo Perrier (James Coco), Sam Diamond (Peter Falk), Jessica Marbles (Elsa Lanchester), Dick and Dora Charleston (David Niven and Maggie Smith), and Sidney Wang (Peter Sellers), all of whom are easy-to-guess but altogether sharp parodies of beloved literary characters.
