Murder by Death is a 1976 ensemble comedy movie, written by Neil Simon and directed by Robert Moore. The plot is a spoof of the traditional country house whodunit, familiar to mystery fiction fans from classics such as Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, a form also parodied for the stage in Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. The cast includes a wealth of British and American comic stars of the time playing send-ups of well-known fictional sleuths, and also features a rare performance from Breakfast at Tiffany's author Truman Capote.
