This is a brief post to give a big ole' 5 out of 5 quacks to Neil Simon's "Death By Murder." It's available for your Kindle Fire through Amazon Prime and I heartily reccommend it.
If you've ever been a fan of detective stories or murder mysteries it's a must see. The film is a comedy wrapped in a mystery wrapped in a comedy. The plot revolves around an eccentric's invitation to the top 5 detectives in the world. The recluse invites the best in the biz to his creepy old mansion to solve a murder that's about to be committed - if they don't all kill each other first.
The cast is first rate. I have to give mad props to the late Peter Falk's work, but David Niven was good and Truman Capote was exceptional. Nancy Walker was even in this one and - as always - was fabulous. This work is Simon at his finest which is mighty, mighty fine indeed.
The ending will have every mystery fan screaming, "Yes, Yes. That's true. That's absolutely true." And just when you think it's solved - perhaps it's not, not quite.
This one is a must see and you will love it. That's a guarantee.
Of course, this is the Crazy Duck Lady's opinion and everyone knows - I'm quackers.
