Fans of Rehearsal for Murder and Sleuth will want to check out The Last of Sheila, a fun cat-and-mouse mystery involving James Coburn, Richard Benjamin, Dyan Cannon, Joan Hackett, James Mason, Raquel Welch, and Ian McShane. The film starts out a year after James Coburn's girlfriend "Sheila" died mysteriously, and he invites all their mutual friends to a week-long party on his yacht. Of course, he has an ulterior motive, and from the first day, he strives to make his guests feel very uncomfortable.
Admittedly, this is not nearly as good as Rehearsal for Murder, but that movie is pretty much in a class by itself. This one feels like a 1970s tv-movie, so with the music and camera angles, it feels dated. I was completely caught off-guard by the twists and turns of the plot, though, so Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins wrote a very mysterious script. While I wasn't happy with the very end, it was very entertaining up until that point, so I'd recommend it to those who enjoy this genre.
