Negative Positive
Title: Monotonous except for the directing
Review: This movie was just painful to sit through. No real conflict is established until the murder is committed. It's just a bunch of ppl arguing with a bad parallel between the servants and their masters. There is nothing witty or even funny about the writing. There is no real mystery at all when he is killed because of the emphasis on a particular character and half the characters could've been taken out to move the movie along. The entire first hour sets up almost nothing and is just filler. However, Altman saved this wretched script by producing superb shots. That is the only redeeming quality about the movie.
