Släpp deckarna loss, det är mord

Murder by Death

...this Neil Simon-scripted pastiche of an array of much-loved detective characters is surprisingly charming, with more good, smart lines to the page than any of the competition and a top-flight cast.

Falk is terrific as the fiercely posturing Humphrey Bogart-Sam Spade prototype, with the other leading players not far behind him in a race for the insane asylum.
