Murder in Three Acts (1986)

Rate: 8
Viewed: 12/10

12/10: The great Peter Ustinov serves up a delicious dish in Murder in Three Acts which is based on an Agatha Christie story.

Of course, all of her adapted films are always fun to watch because of one common theme: murder mystery. Needless to say, Murder in Three Acts is no different.

The first half hour is funny as Jonathan Cecil keeps throwing out subtle maneuvers. Then, things slow down in the middle, but the film finishes well in the last fifteen minutes. Tony Curtis, who passed away two months ago, is wonderful.

All in all, Murder in Three Acts is a nice treat for all murder mystery fans.
