A macabre but playful whodunit, somewhat along the lines of Sleuth or Deathtrap. The plot is quite clever and has a lively sense of gamesmanship. Some of the twists you see coming, but some you don't. The aesthetic hasn't dated well, but maybe that's just me. The cast are a little cheesy but take on their roles with aplomb. Some of the dialogue is a bit too "inside Hollywood" in a nudge-nudge-wink-wink way, but there are some good lines. All in all, it's a fun time and I'm glad I watched it.

There's enough twists coming to keep it from being predictable but then again it's just not that interesting. A fairly conventional whodunnit which is not to say it's bad, it would have been far better if it was a bit shorter.

Everytime you think you know who did it there is a twist. Probably one of the better whodunits I've seen. The acting is decent all around, but at the same time no one is great.

Stephen Sondheim and Anthony Perkins wrote the script for this witty murder mystery, a particularly intricate one because the story is all about games: the widower of the titular Sheila, a year after her death, convenes their friends to play "The Sheila Green Memorial Gossip Game." Things get increasingly complex from there. A great trifle, with an all-star cast having a ball, and a fiendishly clever script filled with surprises and in-jokes. Perhaps only good for one viewing, but well worth it.

A fun murder mystery that isn't very hard to unravel, let down by a weak ending. James Mason completely steals the show.

LOL Richard Benjamin tries to kill James Mason with puppets! (Also keep your eyes peeled for a young Ian MacShane, whose wife is played by a young Raquel Welch.)
