Ok Youngies... Movie:'Murder By Death' Besides Peter Falk, Name Another Actor(ess) In That Movie...

Destined for the lounge I'm certain...

And for bonus points... did your theater show a short before the movie, and if so, what was it about?

:shrug:

Peter Falk...RIP

6. Yes! Capote in that movie...rocks.
I love how much Peter Falk hates the shit out of Capote's character, too. All the little asides he makes to his...red-haired...girlfriend. She was the drill sergeant in Private Benjamin, the TV show is all I know her from.

29. Ah, thanks!
I thought she was a great character actor. Kind of like a female Harry Dean Stanton.

8. Madelline Kahn?
Edited on Fri Jun-24-11 06:55 PM by Dennis Donovan
I didn't hit IMDB yet, but I seem to remember she was in it?

On edit - I cheated - MK wasn't in it. My second entry, the great James Coco!

...and, both her AND Madelline Kahn, played Bride of Frankenstein. That's where I must've gotten confused. ;-) :hi:

37. I'll take your word on that.
I don't recall ever hearing the term used to describe behavior. Maybe back in 4th or 5th grade, but that was a very long time ago.

33. Estelle Winwood.
Played delicate old ladies...One of those faces that everybody knows, with a name that nobody remembers.
Except me, with my useless lint-collecting velcro brain.

35. Ooh... an ancient catfight!!
From: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Estelle_Winwood#A_reluctant_film_and_television_actress

Winwood's final film appearance, at age 92<3> in Murder by Death (1976), was as Elsa Lanchester's character's ancient nursemaid; but, in real life, they were rivals who engaged in a vinegary exchange of insults. In this movie, she joined other veteran actors spoofing some of the most popular detective characters in murder mysteries on film and television (Dick and Dora Charleston, Jessica Marbles, etc.).


This thread is getting FUN!:D
