Bloody awful film, save for Robert Morley.
We are asked to treat this film as a spoof. No. Murder By Death is a spoof, this is just a bad bad bad film.
The Tony Randall portrayal of Poirot was miserable and he couldn't even maintain the accent. And we all know that Poirot is Belgian, he tells us often enough, so why were we bombarded with the frenchesque soundtrack?
