Murder By Death is a 1976 American comedy-mystery film that spoofs the classic whodunit genre. The story takes place at the mansion of Lionel Twain, a reclusive millionaire who invites the world's five greatest detectives to his estate for a "dinner and murder" party. The detectives, each with their own unique quirks and abilities, arrive at the mansion expecting a night of fine dining and stimulating company. However, things quickly take a deadly turn when Twain is found dead, and the guests are left to figure out who among them is the killer. The film's cast of characters includes Felix Meow, a suave and sophisticated cat burglar; Benjamin Wheelerville, a brilliant but eccentric detective with a penchant for getting himself into trouble; Sidney Wang, a Chinese-American detective with a knack for solving mysteries; Dick Charleston, a bumbling private investigator who often finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time; and Sam Diamond, a tough-talking gumshoe with a hidden soft spot. As the guests begin to investigate Twain's murder, they soon discover that the mansion is full of secret passages, spinning rooms, and false identities. The list of suspects grows longer as the night wears on, and it becomes clear that each detective has a reason to want Twain dead. Through a series of hilarious misadventures, mistaken identities, and clever plot twists, the detectives work together (and against each other) to unravel the mystery behind Twain's murder. Along the way, they uncover secrets about themselves and their fellow guests, leading to a surprising and entertaining conclusion. Murder By Death is a loving parody of classic detective films, with plenty of nods to iconic characters like Sherlock Holmes, Hercule Poirot, and Charlie Chan. The film's clever script, witty dialogue, and impressive cast make it a standout comedy-mystery that will keep you guessing until the very end.
