Negative Positive
Title: star studded comedy
Review: This is a very funny movie which parodies great detectives of literature and film. The ending is a bit convoluted so I gave the movie 4 stars. However, you will enjoy this movie and laugh at the characterizations by Peter Sellers as Sidney Wang (an hysterical take off on thc Charlie Chan character), Peter Falk as Sam Diamond (vs Sam Spade), Elsa Lanchester as Jessica Marbles (Marples), James Coca as Monsieur Perrier (Hercule Poirot) and David Niven and Maggie Smith as Dick and Dora Charleston (a nice take off on Powell/Loy duo Nick and Nora Charles). The dialogue is pure Neil Simon, quick and clever. A blind butler excellenty played by Sir Alec Guiness adds to the hilarity. Buy this film and you will not be sorry...
